A recent listener's comment:
"I first heard about ChatGPT on your podcast and immediately started using it. I’m 73 and wrote my first program at 16. Having witnessed all developments in computing down the years I think this is the greatest since www. Your pod is informative in many different areas, politics, economics, society changes, housing crisis etc but at times goes beyond that. This episode tying up all this but also the implications of AI with a knowledgeable guest. ENTHRALLING! Keep it coming."

Irish house prices up again. Time to change the global growth narrative? Markets, the IMF & The Economist all have bought into stronger growth & higher interest rates.

Will Ireland go Dutch? Prolonged coalition negotiations likely if no party gets more than 30% of the GE vote.
Latest opinion polls - and a bit of political crystal ball gazing - points to no one party getting more than 30% of the vote at the upcoming Irish general election.
Why is that and what might it mean? Will Ireland 'Go Dutch' (or Belgian...)? Are we in for weeks or even months of prolonged coalition negotiations?
The deteriorating geopolitical situation might give voters pause for thought about the sort of politicians they want. As talk of WW3 gets louder, will Ireland want to be led by SF?
What is for sure is that SF policies will be subject to forensic scrutiny - unlike last time.
Ban Tik Tok? Chinese Communist Party or Elon Musk - who is the better owner of social media companies?

Irish reunification: the costs and other issues - many that haven't even been thought about
Professor Edgar Morgenroth has recently published a joint paper with professor John Fitzgerald that takes a deep dive into the potential costs of Irish reunification.
We talk to Edgar about his work. We look at lessons from german reunification and the asumptions behind his estimates that it could cost the Irish taxpayer a lot of money. And a lot of sweat and tears.
Planning will be essential. Bad outcomes after ill thought out referendums have historical precedent. Brexit for instance.

Prelude
I’m a regular listener to the podcast gents but that music on the prelude does not match the theme or energy of the show 😆
Excellent Anglo Irish podcast
