IDA vs DFA - A panel on Ireland's response to the Middle East at @kilkenomics.

I'm new-ish to the world of panels and speaking, so being on stage with @PatLeahyIT, @finn_mcredmond, @fotoole and @naoisen was an opportunity I'm very grateful for.

[David W. Higgins @higginsdavidw]

I joined a panel on dereliction at @kilkenomics over the weekend.

I made the point that our problems are nowhere near that in Italy. They'd kill for our demographics. But our demographics are also crumbling behind the scenes. Migration masks falling fertility.

@davidmcw @kilkenomics Thank you ❤️ wonderful event, wonderful people, and wonderful conversation!

[David McWilliams @davidmcw]

Another fantastic weekend in Kilkenny for @kilkenomics - thanks so much to everyone involved. Was out biggest festival yet, and was a hoot.

[Eoin O'Malley @AnMailleach]

Last night at @kilkenomics, after a lively discussion with @CormacLucey, me and the audience, @aideenmcqueen called a vote on who they’d prefer as Taoiseach, straight vote Charlie vs Garret. Haughey won in a landslide!

[Paul JohnstonIUA @pjohnstoniua]

An annual delight to visit beautiful Kilkenny for @kilkenomics - great panels with @colmoregan @kevinmcgahern @PatLeahyIT @ronanlyons the stars of @FT and others. Great countryside, too! Kudos @davidmcw for the former.. and the invisible hand for the latter

Great chats with Roscommon's finest @kylascan last night @kilkenomics. Such an interesting conversation with America's most consequential young economist who grand parents left here in the 1950s. Our loss, Kentucky's gain!

Day 2 @kilkenomics kicks off this morning. See you here.

[Carolina Alves @cacrisalves]

Back at @kilkenomics with the brilliant crew 💥

Always energising to be around these powerhouse women: Katie Martin, Leah Downey, and the fabulous newcomer @kylascan!

#kilkenomics @davidmcw, let’s go!

Lockheed Martin’s revenue surged to $71B in 2024 - its highest ever.

From Iraq to Ukraine to Gaza, war isn���t just policy. It’s profit.
