This week on Down to Agribusiness, Stephen and Lorcan examine yet another report on the future of Irish agriculture.

They also ask whether there is any good news in the Summer Economic Statement, discuss Brazilian beef imports into the UK and assess the impact of continued energy price volatility on agricultural markets.

They also sit down with CEO and founder of Activ8 Solar Energies Ciaran Marron to discuss his entrepreneurial journey, the growth of solar PV and the high-stakes gamble that transformed his business.

The pair also examine the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council's Competitiveness Challenge 2026 report, which recommends progressing the controversial Shannon LNG project and adopting a more technology-neutral approach to Ireland's energy policy.
