The North Quays project is earmarked for completion by 2024.

I was joined on The Hot Desk by Rob Cass, Director of Falcon Real Estate Limited, to discuss the ambitious €400 million North Quays project, which is expected to comprise office space, retail, accommodation, green space, a hotel, a visitor centre and more.

The project needs significant government investment for supporting infrastructure. Rob Cass tells me he's every confidence a funding announcement is imminent. He chatted to about that, and much more besides..

I also spoke to Elaine Fennelly, CEO of Crystal Valley Tech about her book Nude Rude Lewd Crude Screwed and Sued: 50 HR Stories from the Modern Workplace. Elaine and I had a chat about the many pitfalls that face companies when HR issues are not properly resolved. There are some cautionary tales in there for employees too!

Whether we like it or not, Brexit is now just over 60 days away and many companies still feel under-prepared. The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise Leo Varadkar has launched a Brexit Readiness Checker, which can be accessed through the Preparing for Brexit website.

I found out all the details about this free service, from Emer O'Byrne of the Brexit Unit of Enterprise Ireland.
