Expanding access to third-level education key in Ireland's performance, says MTU president
Munster Technological University (MTU) president, Professor Maggie Cusack, has said extending access to third-level education is key to Ireland's positive performance in a new report. A recent Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report confirmed that Ireland is now the most educated country in the world – ahead of Switzerland, Singapore, and Belgium. Advertisement In an interview with , Professor Maggie Cusack said: "I think it's a really important report. I think that's a fantastic finding, to say Ireland's the most educated country in the world. I think it's fundamentally important as technological universities and the advent of technological universities are a really exciting and important piece in the evolution of higher education in Ireland. "And we're really mindful of our regional provision and how we provide those skills and that education. We do it in a way where we link really closely with employers, with industries, to make sure that our graduates have the skills required for that evolution. "In the OECD report, it spoke about 54 per cent of the population with a bachelor's degree. You come to the younger part of the population, under 35, you go to 63/64 per cent. That's absolutely incredible. We think back in the history of that; I'm talking about an evolutionary process, you think about the introduction of free second-level education back in the 60s. I see everything that the technological universities are providing. And this real surge in third-level attainment is just a continuum of exactly that." She said regional provision and expanding access to education are two of the key goals of MTU. Advertisement Third-level access "That equality of opportunity is fundamentally important to us and as well as having mechanisms in place to enable members of the population to pursue third-level education, making sure that they're supported is something we're proud of. "We continue to challenge ourselves to say we have to do more and we have to make sure that we are supporting groups of the population who otherwise, traditionally, wouldn't have access to third-level education. "The mission of technological universities aligns with that national trajectory and that increase in third-level access, because we're passionate about the fact that education generally does transform lives. "It widens opportunities and it gives people opportunities for roles which are more highly paid and all of the positive impact that has on society and on the economy." Advertisement MTU is a public technological university consisting of six campuses located in Cork and Kerry. The university was established in January 2021, the result of a merger between two institutes of technology, Cork Institute of Technology and the Institute of Technology, Tralee. Prof Cusack has been president of MTU since it was founded, and she said her goal has been to keep it "student-centric" as the university and its campuses grow. 'Student-centric' "I have to say it's been really fast and there's lots of change still underway as we bring two organisations together, and with six campuses for MTU, that's 18,000 students, 2,000 staff with a really large, complex organisation. "Through all of the changes, it's all about being student-centric and making sure that we're making the best decisions for our learners while we're undergoing transition and transformation, all of the learning, the teaching, the assessment, the research, the links with industry and employers, the opportunities for students for innovation and entrepreneurship. Advertisement "All of those continue, and indeed grow as we become more established as a university, we're doing structural changes and bringing about five faculties across our six campuses and something we're really proud of is the the breadth of the offering, and by that I mean the subject based offering with an outright technological university. "This also includes different routes of access that are available. Sometimes when people think about universities, they may think it's solely related to the traditional school leaver who comes to university and does a four-year honours. Obviously, we have lots of our learners taking exactly that route. Ireland 'We need to become more AI literate', says Irish e... Read More "It's really important to us that we also have the apprenticeship route, which suits other learners and perhaps other subjects. We have Springboard for upskilling and reskilling, so it's about that breadth of subject base that we deliver." Prof Cusack emphasised the work her colleagues do in trying to connect students with employers and businesses while they pursue their education. Advertisement "I'll give you one example. We have what we call an innovation challenge. So different companies may have products or services that they want to modify and they bring the challenge to MTU. So multidisciplinary groups of students, these are mostly undergraduates, come together. "The engineers are working with the graphic designers or the social scientists, and they're coming together and they're pitching back to the companies to say 'here's the answer to your question', but the added value that our students bring out is just outstanding when the students are saying 'you could also do this to make it more sustainabl, and here's something else you could think about'. So those are undergraduates having that opportunity for innovation with live products that are out there on the market, and companies benefiting from that."

Arsenal have one final hurdle in Viktor Gyokeres deal after Benjamin Sesko issues
Arsenal are in talks with Sporting over a move for Viktor Gyokeres, with a deal set to be concluded once a payment structure is agreed. Mikel Arteta wanted a striker in before pre-season properly started, which is one reason for the sudden advancement. Arsenal's football leadership had been involved in constructive discussion over whether to proceed on Gyokeres or RB Leipzig 's Benjamin Sesko, with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins a fallback, and it is understood that the difficulty of doing a deal for Sesko has ultimately swayed the decision. The prospective signing is the first sign of new sporting director Andrea Berta's influence, as his preference was for Gyokeres. While the club's staff generally rated both the Swedish forward and Sesko equally, there were a number of considerations like age profile –Gyokeres is 27 and Sesko 21 – as well as readiness to immediately fit in, and the context they've been scoring goals in. Arsenal had still been at least €10m away from Leipzig's valuation on Sesko, with the German club wanting €40m of the release clause up front, and around €40m split over fewer instalments. A further issue is that Arsenal hadn't agreed a final package with Sesko's camp for the player's terms, with the impasse lasting right up to last week with Berta specifically feeling Leipzig's demand was too high a figure. It is understood that Arsenal got increasingly frustrated with the pace of negotiations and with Sesko's camp, which has been a key factor in the evolution of their striker pursuit. Arsenal have since been working more in other directions, due to Arteta's will for the situation to not drag on. There had been no such complications with Gyokeres, who has made it clear for months he only wants to join Arsenal. Personal terms are agreed and only final details now need to be settled with Sporting, for a deal that could come to around £60m. Once a forward is confirmed, Arsenal are still expected to move on to potentially two further players. They have been in talks with Chelsea over Noni Madueke, with The Independent having previously reported that the Stamford Bridge hierarchy want £50m. Arsenal retain a strong interest in Real Madrid's Rodrygo and, especially, Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, but there has been no concrete movement on either yet. Arsenal are likely to have to sell before bringing in one of the two, with the primary budget having been allocated for a forward and Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi. The signing of the Basque midfielder was finally confirmed on Sunday.

Porky Britain loses its appetite for Greggs sausage rolls
Asked last year if she thought Britain was approaching 'peak Greggs', Roisin Currie laughed off the suggestion. The bakery chain's chief executive said this point was 'a long way off' as she announced plans to open dozens of new stores across the country following a surge in sales. Today, the prospect of Greggs' over-saturation is less of a laughing matter. After years of extraordinary growth, questions are being asked about whether the chain can maintain its upwards trajectory. Shares in the company plunged by more than 15pc this week after it warned June's scorching heatwave had dampened demand for its hot pastries and sausage rolls, and would lead to lower profits this year. In March, the company posted its slowest sales growth since the pandemic, warning it faces a tougher time in 2025. Investors' faith has been faltering all year, causing a slump of almost 40pc in its share price since January. Though it still offers a cheap meal, the chain has been forced to raise the cost of many of its best-sellers as the burden of paying for labour, ingredients and energy soared. Jonathan Pritchard, of investment bank Peel Hunt, believes these price rises are putting some shoppers off. Other challenges are on the horizon. Labour plans to force takeaway chains to cut customers' calories in an effort to tackle the nation's expanding waistlines. At the same time, Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has vowed to make appetite-suppressing weight-loss jabs easier to get on the NHS. 'We've had unseasonal weather or overly seasonal weather many times over the last 10 years, and they've sailed through that without too many problems. I do think it nods to something slightly more fundamental,' says Pritchard of last week's warning. Recipe for success Founded in 1951 in Newcastle, Greggs was largely a regional business until retail veteran Roger Whiteside took over in 2013 and led a march of expansion across the country. By ditching the traditional bakery side of the business, improving the coffee, revamping the shops and focusing on takeaway food, Whiteside – a former M&S executive – grew the chain to more than £1bn in revenues by 2018. He is widely credited with turning the once-hesitant British middle classes on to the wonders of the Greggs sausage roll. The invention of the £1 vegan version in 2019 sealed Greggs' newfound dominance on the high street, turning the chain into a viral sensation and winning over millions of younger fans. In 2022, Whiteside stepped down, passing the torch to Currie, a well-respected executive who previously led its people, retail and property operations. Greggs' winning streak continued during the first few years of her tenure. While the cost of living crisis hit more expensive brands, it helped the low-price bakery chain as demand soared for cheaper food. By the end of 2024, the chain's revenues had topped £2bn. Today it runs 2,649 shops – more than both McDonald's and Starbucks – and Currie has said she believes there is scope to reach as many as 3,500 in the long term. Obesity crackdown Yet the recent sales slowdown raises questions about whether this ambition is misplaced. Greggs was approached for comment. Some observers are also sceptical of Greggs efforts to try to conquer dinner time. In recent months the chain has been pitching its pizzas as a cost-efficient alternative to Domino's, while simultaneously increasing its focus on chicken dishes to compete with the likes of KFC. 'In the evenings there is absolutely tons of opposition, and it's difficult,' Pritchard says. 'They've tried to come with a value proposition, but you're up against Domino's, and you're up against people that have got enormous marketing budgets and consumer loyalty.' Simon Stenning, a hospitality industry expert and founder of Future Foodservice, believes Greggs is still good value and can give rivals a run for their money on price. 'If you're on your way to work, why wouldn't you buy a bacon roll and a coffee for £2.50, or whatever it is? I think in a world of comparisons where prices are known, they can get away with an extra 5p, 10p or 20p,' he says. He is more worried, however, that increasingly interventionist legislation could hamstring the bakery and other hospitality firms at a time when costs are high and growth is imperative. The Government is planning an ambitious clampdown on food companies that could see chains such as Greggs compelled to reduce diners' calorie intake. 'There's going to be taxation, legislation, nudging, nanny-state intervention to try to reduce our fast food consumption out of home,' Stenning says. 'That's going to be a slowing down.' Then there is the question of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, which are rapidly growing in popularity in the UK. An estimated 1.5m people now take them. Currie has called them 'something on the horizon we are watching closely and understanding and learning about'. Greggs has made efforts to combat the perception that it is unhealthy and, under Currie, has been launching healthier options such as salads and lower-calorie bakes. But the reality is that GLP-1 drugs work by suppressing appetites, meaning people on them will be eating less. Currie insists that recent troubles are simply bumps in the road. But after a decade of dominance, the hard yards are ahead as Labour pushes Britons to ditch the sausage rolls.
