Picture for arts sector earnings still as blurred as ever
Weekly earnings in the arts, entertainment, recreation and other service activities sector are below the national average of €921.81. Struggling artists and arts workers who caught a glimpse of this week’s headlines noting that the biggest rise in earnings here in the fourth quarter of 2023 could be found in the arts sector might be a little confused by this apparent good news. Sadly, but not surprisingly, the “arts sector” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, with the full title of the category stretching to “arts, entertainment, recreation and other service activities”. Workers in this broader “R-S” sector saw their average weekly earnings rise 9.8 per cent from €590.81 to €649 in the fourth quarter, according to preliminary estimates from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The bad news is that weekly earnings for the “R-S” economic sector are a long way behind the €921.81 national average, with only accommodation and food services – a sector notoriously battling to retain staff – paying less.

Warning that Apple share price could fall 30% this year
Could Apple's share price really fall by 30% this year, as suggested by UBS? Apple has had a poor start to 2024 and things may get much worse, according to a UBS note warning shares could fall almost 30 per cent. It’s not that UBS thinks Apple shares will sink, but it sees it as a possibility – a worst-case scenario and a potential surprise for 2024. Some 80 per cent of revenue pertains to hardware, but Apple “trades on a software multiple”. READ MOREMeanwhile, Apple’s 2024 earnings estimates have risen slightly over the past year – much more slowly than all but one (Tesla) of the other members of the so-called magnificent seven group of tech stocks.

We will get snow, heatwaves, torrential rain, extreme weather events and everyone needs to be more prepared for that.

Micheál Martin calls for debate on reform of Stormont institutions
Micheál Martin calls for debate on reform of Stormont institutionsBy Gráinne Ní Aodha, PATánaiste Micheál Martin has called for a debate on reforming Northern Ireland’s powersharing institutions. The DUP exercised its veto under powersharing at Stormont to blockade the institutions for two years in protest at post-Brexit trading arrangements. Speaking at the Alliance Party conference in Belfast, Mr Martin said he had been “doing a lot of thinking” about how Northern Ireland’s political institutions could become more stable. He said any discussion of reform of powersharing would need to be a “serious, collective undertaking”, but also warned that caution cannot lead to “inertia”. The default assumption cannot be that the institutions are unlikely to work – the default assumption must be that they will last.
