Denis O'Brien's potshots last week at 'entitled' graduates, remote and hybrid working arrangements, and the public sector elicited some strong responses in the last few days. Delegates at last week's SIPTU conference shared their views, and Matt Cooper's Business Post column is particularly worth a read (also available here).

Incoming Siptu general secretary John King is interviewed in the Irish Times and Irish Independent. Elsewhere, AI's role in the job recruitment process is considered.

Meanwhile, our former union colleague, now Labour Court Chair, Louise O'Donnell, features in coverage of the Employment Bar Association’s annual conference. The conference heard that reinstatement and re-engagement "are coming to be more commonly regarded as practical remedies in cases taken under the Unfair Dismissals Act."

Your Zen this morning is that Belvo Boy hat trick from Budapest.

Have a lovely week.
