Barrow Princess set sail on March 18th

A new river cruise between New Ross and Waterford City had its first commercial sailing on Friday March 18th.

They outlined the offering.

Men and women urged to consider apprenticeships

She was in studio, and I also spoke to Mary Liz Trant, Director of the National Apprenticeship Office.

And Eimear O'Donoghue, founder of consultancy firm "Future Ready" has just established Grow Remote Waterford, a support body for remote workers.

The group had its first meeting on March 24th at Worklab.

Ahead of that, Eimear joined me in studio.
