The Global Growth of a Pint of Plain.

This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston raises a pint to the global phenomenon that is Guinness. With its recent rise to become the UK's favourite pint, we hear how Guinness has successfully expanded its consumer base when Mandy talks to Frank McNally. Mandy also looks at the hospitality sector where Irish hotels have undergone significant changes in recent years. With news of three new global players entering the market, there’s a discussion about the current landscape of the industry. Plus with the huge interest in AI among tech leaders in Ireland Mandy examines why this interest hasn't yet translated into widespread action. Ronan Walsh from EY unpacks their latest insights into the world of artificial intelligence.
