Ireland's richest local authority, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, is soon to equip many of its dozens of vehicles with new sensors and measuring devices in order to make that part of Dublin a so-called smart city.

Around 150 billion euro is sitting in current accounts in Ireland, earning next to nothing in interest.

Good morning and welcome to Breakfast Business and thank you as ever to Shane Beattie.

It is Friday, the 14th of November at 6.31.

My next guest thinks we should be investing some of that money in capital markets, especially in shares and ETFs.

Coming up on today's show, we'll be talking to the boss of the share trading platform, IG, and we'll be looking at what technology Dunlera Rackdown Council is using to monitor waste collections, etc.

The idea is to gauge where the worst pollution or most stubborn traffic are in the county and get the private sector to help rectify problems.

IG has been a trading platform for many decades, but now claims to be the cheapest way to buy worldwide stocks in Ireland, putting it up to the likes of Davies and Goodbodies.

Ronan Herron is the Digital Strategy Officer with Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and is sitting in front of me.

And all the markets as usual, you can email us, business at newstalk.com.

Michael Healy is the managing director of the IG Group for UK and Ireland and is sitting in front of me.

Good morning, Ronan.

But first, let's have a look at the main business stories in the newspapers and websites, which we shall do in the super smart company of Austin Hughes.
