Ep 16: Paul Johnston former British ambassador and IUA director general - Business Post podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer
Q: But you've gone from representing Britain across the world and here in Ireland to representing our university sector. How have you managed that shift?
Johnston explains the transition was driven by a desire to stay in Ireland, apply diplomacy skills to advocacy for higher education, and work with seven research-intensive universities to secure funding and shape policy; he emphasizes continued outward-facing engagement and leveraging his global experience to benefit the Irish university sector.
Ep 14: Francois Basselot, Egis UK & Ireland Managing Director - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer
Q: Tell us a little bit about the company, projects you have been involved in Ireland, and your footprint there.

He highlights a strong Irish footprint with about 650 staff, 16 offices, and ongoing involvement in major projects like Dublin's tunnels and transport assets, while emphasizing the culture of cradle-to-grave delivery and strong regional leadership.
Ep 7: Kenny Jacobs - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer

Ep 7: Kenny Jacobs - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer
