We look at the situation in Belgium which is divided and increasingly being pulled to political extremes when we hear from Laura Dubois who is the editor of Europe Express for the Financial Times. Here at home we ask how significant are the upcoming Local, European and Mayoral elections really? Mandy is joined by Law Lecturer Jennifer Kavanagh Plus Mandy talks to the Irish entrepreneur Paul Barrett who recently made headlines in Forbes magazine for spearheading a record-breaking investment in a groundbreaking Hydrogen project in Australia.
