Technological University Dublin

Well, since this announcement, supermarkets in the UK have sold out of many of these products, leaving some shoppers unable to buy basic items.

So what is the impact of this stockpiling frenzy and what might it mean for us here? Well, for more on this, I'm joined by Whitehall editor of the Financial Times, Lucy Fisher, and senior lecturer in economics at TU Dublin, Dr Emma Howard.

Good morning to you both.

Lucy,

it'll probably be a spike for people just getting their stock in place and then it's not going to continue, hopefully.

Don't panic yet, people.

But thank you for that, Dr Emma Howard, Senior Lecturer in Economics at TU Dublin.

And before that, Lucy Fisher, Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times.

I know that actually there was a group from Dublin that had actually done it the year before.

It was the Dublin Institute of Technology.

So it was... walker twins couple of guys that were walkers that were very good and they had other guys but that was essentially like a kind of like a tech kind of and they'd all come together and they were running that but they had gone and they had won it and I think that's where John Moran got they kind of got the idea of it was like yeah we could go and do that and we've got a good group I don't really remember when we were told specifically that we had to do it, but I do know that we had to post a qualifying time to get it.

There is no DMers running on it, so we had to go and run a time that was sort of officially recorded.

Yeah, so we've been involved in apprenticeships as a company because we're so associated with the industry.

We've invested a quarter of a million in the Design and Construct Centre up in TU Dublin, which will begin to be built next year, which we're really looking forward to.

And that's a collaborative space where you get apprenticeships, engineers and even PhDs working together to really help design what we need as a country for the buildings that we have.

Now, talk to me, there's a bank holiday weekend and people traditionally, well, at least they aspire to do a bit of DIY around the house and they go, what are people buying at the moment? What are they doing? What is flying out? You know, what construction projects are people taking on themselves?

Is that a B3 tanker? No, that's a B3.

Well, we're joined this morning by Kevin Nolan, Lecturer in Physics at TU Dublin.

Kevin, thanks for taking our call.

How important would you say this mission is?

It's all happening.

Kevin, thanks a million.

Kevin Nolan, lecturer in physics at TU Dublin.

It's two minutes to nine.

They rebuilt the set of O'Connell Street in Grange Gorman.

which is now the Technological University of Dublin.

It was still a ruin at that stage, or falling down around the place.

That was all built in order to be blown up, which is what happened to it, of course, during the course of our marvellous revolution.
