To understand the gravity of the situation, Bobby is joined by Eoin Lowry, Head of Agri at Bank of Ireland & Bobby Miller, a tillage farmer and head of the Irish Grain Growers Group.

Joining Bobby in the Executive Chair this week is David Nolan and Kevin Glynn, founders of Butternut Box.

This year’s finalists in the EY Entrepreneur have just been announced and it’s a bumper group. As we do every year on the show, we’ll be following the finalists on their journey which next month will see Bobby and the team bring you the show from Cape Town in South Africa. To discuss, Bobby is joined by Roger Wallace, EY Ireland Head of Assurance and EY Entrepreneur of the Year Partner Sponsor, and also by two of this year’s finalists who are Orlaith Ryan from Shorla Oncology and David Maguire, CEO of the BNRG Group.

The 'Moving to Portugal Show' took place this month which provided free access to a range of experts on the tax, investment, legal, financial, and practical aspects of moving from Ireland to Portugal. Bobby was on hand to find out all about it and what Portugal has to offer.

We’re a nation famed for our theatre scene with an abundance of world-renowned authors, playwrights, and actors to call our own.

Joining Bobby to discuss is:
Donal Shiels, Artistic Director and CEO of The Civic Theatre
