‘Tallaght man retires’ is not often a headline that moves the markets and gets headlines all over the world but that’s what happened this week when Alan Joyce said he was to retire from the top job at Qantas Airways in Australia - after 15 years as chief executive.

Alan Joyce, Chief executive of Qantas Airways joined Joe on the show this morning.
