Down to Business hits the air from 10am tomorrow and it's a "Winning Back the High Street" affair as Bobby Kerr hosts the show live from Mullingar.
Here's a taste of what's coming up:
- As always, we go first to the newspapers. Looking at what's happening on the front and business pages, Ronan Casey, Mullingar native and author of Medium-Sized Town, Fairly Big Story joins Bobby.

- From Joe Dolan to One Direction's Niall Horan, Mullingar has a big musical history. Ben Dolan, showband performer and brother to Joe, and Christy Maye, owner of the Greville Arms and Ireland's first DJ, will talk about it all.
- Next up, we'll find out what makes Mullingar's business heart tick. Fianna Fáil TD for Westmeath Robert Troy; Tom Griffith, who was behind the Industry4Summit.com industrial meet-up last month; and award-winning entrepreneur and energy consultant Paul O'Reilly will take the stage, with plenty of audience participation also expected.
- Bobby goes to the gee-gees at Kilbeggan Racecourse...
- Motivational speaker Gerry Duffy, Martin Nally of TownApps.ie and Miller and Cook owner Mark Gavin will be chatting about the slightly more unusual ways to make a living in the county.
- Sitting in the Executive Chair is one of Ireland's most famous businessmen. With his airline in the midst of a massively-successful charm offensive, Ryanair owner – and proud Westmeath man – Michael O'Leary will be talking horses, leg room, cyclists and more.
- To play us out, Foster and Allen perform ahead of their 29-date Australian tour...
All this and more on Down to Business with Bobby Kerr from 10am until midday tomorrow morning, on air and online.
