Runaway Golf, How Diverse Are Irish Workplaces and Why is Trump Still Looming So Large?

Taking Stock

This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston talks about the economics of golf; as the PGA Championship kicks off this weekend she is by journalist Fionn Davenport to discuss the mind boggling figures on offer to players for a breakaway tournament sponsored by money from the Middle East. A study of Irish Business has thrown up some very interesting information. It seems Irish companies are good at revealing gender diversity but not so much when it comes to disability or sexual orientation. We’ll hear about a new study which raises the question - Have we made the progress we think we have when it comes to diversity in the workplace? Plus Mandy is joined by the US Managing Editor of the Financial Times Peter Spiegel to talk about the economic and political landscape in the run-up to the US midterm elections and she’ll be asking why - despite losing the Presidential Election last year - Donald Trump is still very much in the picture.
