🌍 How can Ireland encourage more people to invest for the long term? 📻 Speaking on Newstalk's Taking Stock, Munro O'Dwyer explained that while Irish households are strong savers, many face complexity when it comes to investing. The proposed Personal Investment Account (PIA) seeks to address this by providing a straightforward, easy-to-open and tax-efficient way to invest. 💰 Munro examines how the PIA could simplify investing, increase participation and support long-term wealth creation for Irish households. 🎧 Listen to the episode (3 minutes - 15 minutes) here: https://lnkd.in/di-7WdgQ. #Budget2027 #FinancialPlanning #Investing

💡 Digital procurement is approaching a defining moment. 📊 Our latest Digital Procurement Survey 2026 reveals a clear shift in priorities, with organisations focused on improving efficiency, accelerating digital transformation, and embedding AI into procurement operations. 📨 Yet while 47% of organisations plan to prioritise AI over the next three years, adoption remains at an early stage. In many cases, ambition is moving faster than execution. 🔍 Our research shows that success will depend on more than technology alone. ✔️ The organisations creating the greatest value are aligning digital investments with operating models, data foundations, governance structures, and change management capabilities. 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dPFkNrWQ.

❓Are Irish consumers becoming more proactive about managing their health? ☑️ The evidence suggests they are. #️⃣ More than 80% of people surveyed already use a health app or wearable device, but the real story goes beyond the technology itself. Consumers are increasingly seeking personalised insights, coaching and support that help them better understand their health and take meaningful action. 🎧 In this short clip, Ruth McNamee shares why connected health solutions are evolving from simple tracking tools into valuable partners in everyday wellbeing, and what this means for the future of healthcare. 🎙️ Hear Ruth's perspective below.

📲 What does organisational resilience look like in an AI-enabled world? ❓A question that shaped a week of conversations led by Rachel Higham, former three-time FTSE 100 CIO, Non-Executive Director and PwC Strategic Advisor, with clients, business leaders and leaders across industry as we explored the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of business. 🤝 From executive roundtables and board-level discussions, including an event with Institute of Directors Ireland, to one-to-one client meetings, conversations centred on AI, governance, cyber resilience and how organisations can build trust while accelerating transformation. 🗨️ One message came through clearly: organisations that successfully combine innovation, trust and strong leadership will be best placed to thrive in an AI-enabled world.

🌟 The 2026 PwC Hurling All-Star nominations are here! 👏 A celebration of outstanding performances, dedication and excellence throughout another memorable hurling season. 🎊 Congratulations to all of the players recognised across the All-Star nominations, as well as those shortlisted for the Hurler of the Year (Diarmaid Byrne, Gearóid Hegarty and Brian Hayes) and Young Hurler of the Year awards (William Buckley, Jason Rabbitte and Cillian Trayers). 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dM6Vh2i5.

👀 One of the most interesting measures to watch in Budget 2027 may not be a tax increase or tax cut. It's the proposed Personal Investment Account.    🏡 If implemented, the PIA could simplify how investments are taxed and administered, making long-term investing more accessible for Irish households.    💡 For many people, certainty and simplicity may prove just as valuable as the tax incentive itself.    💶 What could this mean for savers, investors and providers alike?    🔗 Read the full insight here: https://lnkd.in/d2DeNVwv.
