... what was happening there.
Fiachra Ó CionnaithPANELIST
Yeah, plenty of kites, uh, around, in the air around Kildare Street this week, isn't there, and, uh, over the last few weeks as well.
Fiachra Ó CionnaithPANELIST
I suppose those excise cuts really are, um, the extension of those, really shaping the parameters of those bilateral discussions that are happening in government buildings at the moment.
Fiachra Ó CionnaithPANELIST
We know it's €100 million a month, um, and it is coming out of the budget surplus, but what wriggle room does it leave for the coalition, uh, and for those departments which are going with their hands out to Jack Chambers looking for budgetary increases? Uh, yes, they're there until February or, or March, it's understood, but we've also heard Darragh O'Brien and Micheál Martin warn that these fuel prices of €2 and above are here for the next 12 to 24 months, even if there's a breakthrough in the Middle East.
Martina DevlinGUEST
And I think I learned that from Lorraine Giles Wilder.

You mentioned, Eilis, that you were a librarian, but that was in our National Library on Kildare Street.
Rick O'SheaHOST
You worked there for a quarter of a century.
Rick O'SheaHOST
What was that like?
Philip O'ConnorGUEST
The other newspaper said it wasn't for them, and that's fine, right? But I know that people have seen this, and I know that there are people in government who are afraid of their lives, that people are going to read what I wrote.
Philip O'ConnorGUEST
Because if other journalists, if the people who stand outside Leinster House start to ask them about these things, then a problem in Foggesta is going to become a problem on Kildare Street.
Philip O'ConnorGUEST
Now, they're not there at the moment.
Philip O'ConnorGUEST
They're all on their holidays for 53 weeks.
Jane CaseyGUEST
But clubs like this were quite prevalent around Dublin and around Ireland around that time and around the mid 18th century.
Jane CaseyGUEST
And one of those clubs was the Kildare Street Club.
Jane CaseyGUEST
And that was actually probably one of the most prominent clubs So essentially what this club was, it was basically very important men talking about very important things.
Jane CaseyGUEST
So think about the upper echelons of Irish society.
Jane CaseyGUEST
That's exactly where it is.
Jane CaseyGUEST
So that's what first piqued my interest, actually.
Jane CaseyGUEST
So some of your listeners might be aware of a gorgeous building just on the corner of Kildare Street, that it's a big red brick building, but it has the most ornate, beautiful etchings and carvings in it.
Jane CaseyGUEST
And if you look closely, there's actually monkeys playing billiards and playing cards.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeillGUEST
But it's particularly interesting that it's happening at the same time that Peter Burke and I are trying to develop a longer term life sciences strategy for Ireland.
Jennifer Carroll MacNeillGUEST
and many of you will have been in industry at an event with us on Kildare Street where we were talking about that in advance of the presidency and trying to get some different perspectives about where things were, where the files of the presidency would fall within that and where we were likely to go.
Jennifer Carroll MacNeillGUEST
So these are all coming together very, very well and it's very, very important to us obviously in Ireland where we've, you know, well over 100,000 people working in this sector.
Jennifer Carroll MacNeillGUEST
and where it contributes very, very strongly to our GDP, but where we, I suppose, in the Department of Health, are thinking really about the future of medicine, the future of medical devices, and the future of patient care in a really exciting opportunity for the future, and how we're going to get access to that, how we're going to get access to that physically how we're physically going to to be able to produce manufacture that but how we're going to get access to that in this market and in this competitive environment as opposed to being dependent on access through other markets or after access is established in other markets those things are very important to us so we would like in the department of health to see a future where we're funding extraordinary research being done in public hospitals partnered with public universities driving innovation alongside our industry and that innovation being brought to market ideally within Ireland but certainly within Europe and obviously what we're trying to do now is create the conditions for that and we try to do that and we can speak more about the role of the state in that we try to do that for one reason and one reason well actually many reasons, but one reason in particular, which is that we want our patients in Ireland to have access to the very best of healthcare, whether it's through medicines or whether it's through medical devices.
Ian DempseyHOST
money
John BrennanGUEST
may not come out because the IMF were down in Kildare Street.
John BrennanGUEST
No one knew what the state the banks were and no one knew whether their money's safe or was it not.
John BrennanGUEST
It wasn't a nice time at all.

And you do see as well yesterday and every opening day of a Dáil term increased security.
Micheál LehaneCORRESPONDENT
around Kildare Street and beyond.
Micheál LehaneCORRESPONDENT
But of course, it isn't just securing that particular area.

The general culture that TDs and Senators are experiencing is making them nervous.
