That's it for now.

Up next, the Newstalk Breakfast Show with Ciara and Shane.

Breakfast Business with Enterprise Ireland on Newstalk.

Donald Trump told the UN last week that climate change and decarbonisation were the greatest frauds of the 21st century.

My next guest started in the fruit markets in Dublin, aged 14, and graduated into the telecom sector by putting Wi-Fi on buses and coaches.

He also hates renewable energy and wind turbines, which he refers to as windmills.

He's now been bought out of his latest venture, Rural Wi-Fi.

He's still a shareholder with Fleet Connect and a former winner of the Newstalk Business Person of the Month.

But the business and scientific community have totally ignored him, including my next guest, who runs a company that prepares land for the installation of turbines, as well as fixing them if they break down.

And he is Patrick Cotter and is sitting in front of me.

Good morning, Patrick.

Morning, Joe.

Thanks for having me on.

We'll come to your amazing story of risk-taking in a moment.

And much to Trump's chagrin, he's expanding and hiring more people.

But first, tell us about the deal to sell Rural Wi-Fi.

He's Darren Sherry and he's the chief executive of Gail Tech in County Cavan.

Has that gone through now?

Good morning, Darren.
