In part one Irish Times Economics Editor Arthur Beesley and Davy Stockbrokers Chief Economist Conall Mac Coille join host Ciarán Hancock to discuss the expected Federal Reserve move to increase US interest rates and what effect this long-awaited move may have on the US, Eurozone and Irish economies.

In part two hosting duties are swapped as Ciarán tells Arthur about this morning's AIB EGM where the announcement of a reorganisation of shares won't have pleased the bank's recent investors. They discuss how the beneficiary of state support can begin to return to commercial normality while repaying the €21 billion bailout it received.
