Get ready for a deep dive into Ireland's future with the Heritage Summit and uncover e-health insights that might just change our lives!

Today, Dublin Castle becomes the hub of inspiration and innovation as it welcomes the third annual Heritage Ireland 2030 Summit. This gathering draws together practitioners, enthusiasts, and stakeholders dedicated to preserving and promoting Ireland’s vast cultural heritage. Attendees will engage in discussions that explore how heritage can be accessed by all, emphasizing that our rich history should not only be celebrated but also experienced by generations to come. Whether you're a history buff or a casual tourist, this summit promises exciting ideas to engage with your roots in new and meaningful ways.

At the same time, the Global Ireland Media Challenge Fund has launched a new series of awards aimed at enhancing public knowledge and citizen engagement concerning global issues. This initiative ties in with the government's Global Ireland Programme, which seeks to foster a deeper understanding of Ireland's place in the world. Imagine picking up a powerful new documentary series while simultaneously engrossing yourself in Ireland’s role on the global stage – it’s a win-win that can educate and entertain!

On a different note, Ericsson's CEO navigated through the murky waters of uncertainty following Europe’s recent Apple tax ruling, which is creating waves among firms eyeing investment opportunities in Ireland. Despite these challenges, Ericsson remains committed to its Irish presence, sending out a strong message to the industry: tough times may shake the ground, but they won't uproot dedication. This steadfastness reminds us all that adversity can often lead to resilience, especially in a landscape as dynamic as technology.

Interestingly, a new HIQA survey dives into a different but equally important topic: e-health. It appears that while many in the Irish public are ready to embrace the age of e-health, healthcare professionals remain a tad cautious. Perhaps it’s time to kick back, share some laughs, and bridge the gap between enthusiasm and expertise? After all, who knew that diving into technology could be as tricky as navigating Dublin traffic? Don't forget to tune into the new documentary series, "Ireland's Coast," starting this Sunday, where you can sail through time and witness the breathtaking beauty of our shores, while reflecting on the challenges and triumphs documented in our cultural journey. Did you know Ireland has over 7,500 kilometers of coastline? That’s more than any other EU country! Plus, with the launch of the Global Ireland Media Challenge Fund, our storytelling prowess isn't just limited to our green pastures – the world gets to hear our tales too!
