Joining Bobby to discuss is:

· Paddy Mathews, Head of Operations for Ireland's Hidden Heartlands with Fáilte Ireland
· Liam Feeley, Chief Executive Officer at Mountaineering Ireland
· Niamh Lunny, from the Irish Landmark Trust
· Jarlath O’Dwyer, CEO of the Burren Ecotourism Network

Things may be getting serious for Ireland’s pharma industry after Tuesday’s threat by Donald Trump to impose a 200% tariff on US pharma companies who fail to repatriate their production within a timeline. What would that mean for Ireland? Bobby is joined by economist Cormac Lucey & David Anchell, the founder and managing director of Camida.

Bobby is joined by James Eagle, author of 'From Chaos to Clarity: How Data Visualization can Save the World'.

Joining Bobby in this week's Executive Chair is Jayne Owen–Gauld, Market Manager for IKEA Ireland.

Joining Bobby to run through the main business stories of the day are Susan Hayes-Culleton, host of Taking Stock here at Newstalk & Robert Whelan of Rockwell Finance.

From the age of 30, evidence shows that we naturally lose significant muscle mass and bone density. Bobby headed out to 'Stronger You For Life’ in Rathmines, a personal fitness business that looks to create a solid, sustainable, and well-informed framework that helps people develop their own fitness toolkit.

Bobby is out and about again and this time he's steaming up in a sauna on Killiney beach and learning more about The Hot Box Saunas.

Bobby speaks to chefs & restaurateurs to get a sense of just where this vital industry sits as we face down inflationary and staffing pressures.
