Spanish Overtourism, Big Tech's Retreat and Ursula's Victory

“Overtourism” is a real thing in Spain right now and this week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston talks to Sam Jones of the Guardian about Spain’s growing disdain for throngs of tourists. In ‘Tech Scape’ Mandy talks to Elaine Moore of the Financial Times about how big tech companies are ditching the bean bags and latte machines for tougher lines with their staff. Ursula Von Der Leyen made it across the line with ease in the end to become President of the European Commission for a second time. Jack Power of the Irish Times tells us how it all panned out and what it means for Ireland.
