Global Crossing: How Ireland Invested in the Internet

Former Secretary General Brendan Tuohy discusses the Global Crossing project. With major backing from the Irish government, Global Crossing involved building two transatlantic fibre-optic cables and compatible landing points in Ireland. The Irish government pre-purchased capacity on the cables as an anchor customer, with major multinationals and telecoms carriers expected to buy the capacity later. Ultimately, the Global Crossing project contributed to Ireland being an international connectivity hub with direct and cost-effective transatlantic fibre links. Tuohy also speaks about broader topics such as trust, collaboration and accountability. For our digest segment, Conor Igoe considers the significance of Global Crossing today in the context of artificial intelligence. Credits: RTE Archives.

Luas: How Modern Light Rail Came to Dublin

This conversation with Frank Allen, former CEO of the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA), explores the Luas light rail project in Dublin and considers what can be learned from it.

In 2015, The RPA was folded into Transport Infrastructure Ireland which now oversees major road and public transport projects. Frank has had a wide-ranging career beyond Luas, having first started out at the World Bank and KBC Bank. He served as Chairman of Depaul, Irish Rail and now Translink in Northern Ireland. He also advises on infrastructure finance and operations globally, especially in Europe and Asia. Matthew Wood joins us for our digest segment.
