@RTEbusiness How about incentivising companies and employees to work remotely? #nobrainer when it comes to discouraging private car use! @connectedhubs

The Department of Transport does not recommend implementing a car parking levy at this time and favours other tax-based measures to discourage private car use by workers. rte.ie/news/business/…

Ditching in-person meetings and regular hours means companies must think of new ways for colleagues to collaborate. recruitireland.com/advice-centre/…

@DPCIreland This is great news! I could never understand how this could be allowed in recent years as it takes the negotiation out of the deal. I believe this will help stabilise house prices.

@culladgh I don’t hear much empathy from @LeoVaradkar about families that have particularly difficult situations. I am also fortunate but not every family is and I like living in a society where our country does have a duty of care for those less fortunate. It’s the right thing to do.

Leo Varadkar on the Six O' Clock Show. He talks about the importance of care within the family and the state should strive to support that Leo saying the quiet part outloud. He goes on to say he personally doesn't believe it's the State's responsibility but the families'

Members of Chartered Accountants Ireland and CPA Ireland have voted in favour of a proposal to amalgamate the two institutes. rte.ie/news/business/…

"The pace of growth in labour costs will then be the dominant driver of core inflation," the Governor of the Central Bank said. Why we can’t have more joined up thinking between government and economists? We had the fastest lift in employment costs this past year. Sensible? No!

It’s time the fast pace of increased employer costs were highlighted. Employers want to pay employees correctly but speedy increased costs do not allow adequate budgeting adjustments before costs take effect for employers #costofhiring

@jenhoganjourno It’s such a pity remote working isn’t embraced more. It’s mutually beneficial for the employer (increased talent available) and the employee’s work life balance (thus reduced staff turnover) #flexidesk #WorkLifeBalance

The commute is back. I spoke to people living in Dublin's commuter belt counties about the long commute to work, and how it affects their lives. irishtimes.com/life-style/202…

@CWeston_Indo I visited family in Vancouver this Summer, air con units going in every house, electricity a quarter of Irish price, it’s a scandal here how little our government is doing for the electorate

More and more people are thinking of becoming or are being asked to become non-exec directors of companies, charities and other organisation. But what responsibilities go with being at the board table? rte.ie/news/business/…

@IrishTimes Giving landlords a bad name, poor behaviour

Emails from Deirdre Conroy to the lodger, seen by The Irish Times, said: “My office is downstairs and beside the kitchen, so we don’t advise cooking. The last student was happy to order dinner delivered and have it upstairs.” irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…

@ArleneHarris11 @theculinarycelt Talk to @AClassofWine - she’s an expert!

#journorequest looking to hear about short courses (even day or weekend courses) for food and wine lovers in Ireland, who can already cook well but want to learn a new skill. DM if any thoughts. RTs appreciated.

@OHanlonEilis I think the core frustration is the lack of individual accountability. Accountability is the core of the private sector and until accountability exists in the public sector, further occurrences will most certainly occur. Reviews of RTE are pointless when no penalties exist.

I actually agree with those who say that the row over Ryan Tubridy has gone too far, but I think they're missing the point. It's about a deep sense of unfairness in Irish society generally. This just happened to be the trigger for the crisis. So let's discuss the unfairness.
