Exchequer figures for 2015 paint a picture of economic recovery that Michael Noonan could scarcely have dreamed of when he took over the Department of Finance in the dark days of 2011. KBC Chief Economist Austin Hughes joins Arthur Beesley to explain the unexpectedly strong 'bouncebackability' of the Irish economy, what credit is due whom, and why we still need to be cautious. In part two Ciara O'Brien is on the line from Las Vegas's annual COnsumer Electronic Show, where techies are salivating over driverless cars, drones, fridges that email you with what food you need and all the rest.
