Over 180 business leaders attended a virtual event at Dublin City University earlier today to hear about building diverse talent pipelines, the role of internships, and virtual or hybrid work placements as a valuable experience for both interns and companies in a Covid-19 world.
The event marked the launch of DCU’s 2021
Access to the Workplace programme, which provides high quality summer internships for Access students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, hosted by over 55 leading Irish companies.
Keynote speakers included Dublin football manager and Irish Aviation Authority Director, Jim Gavin, DCU Business School’s Professor David Collings, and BT Ireland’s Head of Communications, Priscilla O’Regan.
The former chairman of the Shannon Group, Rose Hynes, has been appointed as Chairman of the Board of the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). Welcoming the appointme.
My wife Ruth Buchanan left RTÉ a few years ago. Ever since she has been a happy homemaker. She has absolutely no intention of ever doing another day s work outside the home. Our paths crossed occasionally between then and now, mostly as ships in the night. The arrangement worked pretty well.
Last year that all changed with Covid-19 and my P45 from an ungrateful electorate! Her life has been more disrupted by these two events than mine.
For the first six months she banished me to my tiny study to write a book. After that I escaped from custody into the adjoining rooms in the house, tiptoeing around this unfamiliar territory.

Irish airspace was back at 1980s levels of flight traffic last year, according to the Irish Aviation Authority.
Air traffic controllers managed fewer than half a million journeys in total, a drop of 58 percent from 2019.
Trans-Atlantic trips were down over half, while commercial flights out of Dublin airport dropped by 64 percent.
Ireland s been hit disproportionately by the slow down, largely because of the fall in trans-Atlantic travel.
