The annual jamboree of the wealthy and famous starts today in the Swiss ski resort of Davos. The person that everyone will be talking about won't be there in person and will join via zoom on Thursday.  But the rich are set to get much richer and the tokenistic nods to diversity and fairness looks set to be washed away. Suzanne Lynch from Politico is there and joins us live from Davos 

Last year appeared on the surface to have been an amazing year for live music with huge concerts from Taylor Swift, Coldplay, ACDC and of course U2 in the Sphere. But lower down the food chain things are not so rosy in the live music circuit in Europe with many venues shutting down or reporting a surge in costs. 

Fernando Bittencourt Hersan from LiveEurope which represents live music venues joined Joe on the show this morning. 

Even though the data is not black and white, all Donald Trump sees when it comes to trade between the US and Europe is a deficit that he wants to reverse.  He has promised across-the-board tariffs on EU imports.  On top of that the Tech Bro’s have squirmed their way into Trump’s affections and want him to push back hard on any big fines for wrong-doing.  So what can and should the EU do in the era of Trump 2.0?

The telecoms giant Three has been in Ireland for 20 years. It now provides broadband as well as 5G Mobile phone services.  With younger people calling a lot less these days, the battle of the future is over data and how quick and how much is on offer and Three says it’s well placed for AI and for the Internet of Things. 

Eoin MacManus is the Chief Business Officer for Three Ireland joined Joe this morning on the show.

The vacancy rate for Irish commercial property stands at early 16% at the moment. That’s the highest in Europe and reflects the fact that demand is still soft after lockdowns. However, the retail property market is doing quite well in certain city centres but even that masks the fact that it varies from street to street.

But what happens if Donald Trump persuades tech companies to upticks and move some operations back to the United States? 

Joe discussed along with John Moran the Chief Executive of JLL Ireland. 

Aidan Donnelly from Davys brings us all the business news along with Joe Lynam.

Shomera has been making home offices and garden rooms for more than two decades already but has seen a surge in his business since lockdowns gave rise to a roaring demand for working from home.
