That Great Business Show Special - A tribute to David Horgan, RIP
In Memory of David Horgan — Energy, Insight and IntegrityThis is a special re-release of That Great Business Show, Episode 79 (March 2022), in tribute to the late David Horgan, Chairman of Petrel Resources — a man of rare clarity, courage and intellect.Recorded in the early days of the war in Ukraine, this conversation captures David at his most incisive: explaining Europe’s dependency on Russian energy, Ireland’s stalled exploration policy, and the hard economics that shape geopolitics. Some facts have since moved on. David’s insight has not.He warned of blackouts and energy shocks. He spoke about Ireland’s potential — and frustration — with a mix of authority and candour few could match.The final minutes of this interview reveal the man behind the analysis: principled, humorous, and forever hopeful about young Irish talent. His last line, about hiring “a youngster with fire in their belly,” says everything about how he saw life and leadership.🎧 Listen back and remember a thoughtful Irish business voice, a generous contributor, and a true gentleman.Originally recorded: March 2022David Horgan, Petrel Resources, Irish energy policy, oil and gas Ireland, LNG Ireland, Conall Ó Móráin, That Great Business Show, UCD Smurfit Business School Podcast of the Year, Irish business leaders, tribute episode, energy security, Russia Ukraine war, Ireland geopolitics, De Facto Shaving Oil.Find all episodes at www.ThatGreatBusinessShow.com Hosted on Acast.
