The Business Post Podcast

Budget 2027 was unveiled by the coalition to little fanfare this week. With most of the big-ticket items already leaked to the press in the days and weeks before Budget Day, the publication of the final document was met with more questions than applause. How will the State's new personal investment scheme work? Does the new scaling fund for businesses go far enough? Has the government written itself into "blank cheque territory" when it comes to energy supports? Our political staff Danniel Murray and Megan O'Brien join Peter and Danny to discuss.

George Osborne has spent much of his career making consequential decisions and living with the arguments that follow. This was the case during his tenure as UK Chancellor of the Exchequer and is once again in his role of managing director at OpenAI. In this special edition of the Business Post Podcast, recorded at the Business Post's AI 2030 event, listen back to his fireside chat with Daniel McConnell. Osborne spoke on OpenAI's impression of Ireland, its plans for expansion here and how governments are already falling behind in the race to regulate the technology.

Alan Joyce is the first to acknowledge his polarising reputation. During his time at the head of Qantas, his public profile oscillated between a cut-throat union buster to one of the best-regarded executives in Australia. Ahead of the release of Joyce's new book, Peter O'Dwyer sat down with the Irish aviation chief to discuss his turbulent career at the top of one of the world's biggest airlines. The pair delve into some of the biggest controversies of Joyce's career, such as the decision to ground Qantas flights in an industrial dispute with airline staff and the QF32 explosion, the state of play in the aviation sector and lessons learnt from his time as one of the most prominent Irish executives in the world.
