Irish holiday makers are stuffing their wheelies and taking to the skies again with gusto, but where are they going? and how are international energy prices and supply chain issues affecting the cost of global travel and your summer breakaway?

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.
