This week’s episode of Inside Business starts with an interview with Irish entrepreneur Jordan Dargan.

Fans of the popular BBC show The Apprentice, will have seen Jordan come within a whisker of reaching the final two who got to pitch to secure Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment.

There was some consolation for the 22-year-old Dubliner with Lord Sugar giving him his business card before he left the boardroom and encouraging him to keep in touch.

Jordan joined host Ciarán Hancock in studio to detail his experience on the Apprentice, how the business he pitched to Lord Sugar has developed since recording finished last year, and offers he has received here to pursue a career in media.

Earlier this week, US president Donald Trump pressed for drug companies to invest more in the United States and to lower their prices for medicines.

So, what would that mean for the Irish pharma sector, which exports a huge amount of medicines to the US each year.

Dominic Coyle of The Irish Times has covered the story and goes through Trump’s proposals and the possible implications for Irish pharma.
