Episode 149

This week on Let’s Go Green with Aisling O’Rourke on Midlands 103, we’re examining how national policy, community safety and business leadership intersect with sustainability. Niall Conroy of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council joins me to reflect on Budget 2026 and what it does—or doesn’t—deliver in terms of environmental investment. We discuss where the funding is going, what’s missing, and how it aligns with Ireland’s climate commitments. Inspector Ralph Holmes shares practical advice on getting your vehicle winter ready. As the colder months set in, we look at how to stay safe on the roads while also keeping fuel use efficient and responsible. And Neil Skeffington of Novelplast explains how his company is putting the social into ESG. From supporting staff wellbeing to engaging with the local community, we explore what meaningful sustainability looks like beyond environmental metrics. Tune in every Monday night at 7pm on Midlands 103 or catch the podcast anytime on your preferred platform. Let’s Go Green is proudly sponsored by EirGrid Group, supporting informed conversations on sustainability, resilience and climate leadership across Ireland.
