It seems less likely now, but Vítor Pereira might relegate two clubs, win a European trophy and manage in the Champions League and Championship next year 😀😀
Maoz Inon and Aziz Abu Sarah were two of the best speakers I heard at OYW. Maoz is an Israeli whose parents were killed on October 7th. Aziz is a Palestinian whose brother was killed by Israeli soldiers. They now tour together for peace and reconciliation. youtu.be/DU45iLNBwro?...
These were often the people on stage giving keynote speeches or special guests that made the summit so incredible, or the OYW senior staff who were the ones organising everything behind the scenes.
Article 10 and the final article of my review of incredible people that I met or heard from at hashtag#OYW2025. This article features Politicians, Celebrities, Sports People and OYW Senior Staff

Some websites make it so difficult to find content on their website:
- Yes, I'll accept your cookies
- No, I don't want notifications
- No, I won't sign up for your newsletter
- No, I don't want you, AI chatbot
JUST SHOW ME WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!!
And they wonder why AI websites are so popular!!
They were all there to inspire and motivate the next generation of business and political leaders to put their plan to improve their specialists' interests and fight for the next generation

Yeah, and it's cost me a lot of money by not having to steward it! ☹️☹️☹️
It's a long shot, but if Leinster get to the final (highly doubt it), and it's at home, where will it be played? The final is on the 20th of June, Matalica are in Aviva on the 19th/21st, and there GAA on in Croker that day!
Good to hear. I know Dogpatch Labs and The NDRC have childcare on site for all their events through www.oogo.me
Total lack of focus, strange decision making, taking their eye off the play, not showing us what we want...not sure if I'm talking about Leinster or the Premier Sports director! #glavlei
The next article features speakers from large organisations, including the BBC, CBS, The Nobel Women’s Initiative, Ikea, the World Food Programme, and the UN Refugee Agency.

Great day in Aviva, good craic with the Scottish fans. The general consensus amongst the Scottish fans...
I regularly have to go on Irish SME's websites to see if I can feature them. A pet peeve of mine is companies not providing links to their social media or not updating their website links regularly.
I just saw one that had a link to their Google+ account🤦🤦🤦
This is what AI is made for 😂😂😂

The toolkit launched has already seen over 1,100 downloads. However, good intentions must be backed by action. As Sonia herself says, "PR exists to communicate with all of society, and it must now start to reflect society".
Research from Sonia Harris PR highlights the huge challenges in Ireland's PR industry.
- 1 in 5 agencies has no employees from a diverse background.
- Only 17% of the sector's workforce comes from a diverse background.

The last 4 OYW articles I've have focused on founders at the summit. This focuses on people at the event who were there representing large companies.
These speakers showed what their company is doing to make a difference in the world through their programmes. focusondiversity.ie/2026/02/13/p...

Friends, I'm working on allowing people to access PayGap.ie in Irish. I'm close to finished on the code work needed to support translatable strings everywhere, and will do my best at a first pass of the translations too, but if there's any Irish speakers willing to give it a look, let me know!
Not sure if it's a law necessarily, the ref mike being hooked up to the stadium PA for the entire game is a hill that I will die on.
If you hear it at home, you should hear it in the stadium
