Irish Times business journalist and techie Pamela Newenham reports from the Web Summit, where the real business of securing investment and making connections is far more important than quarrels with politicians and overpriced food. She tells Arthur about this year's trends and brightest new startups. Then Pamela interviews US-based, Dublin-born entrepreneur Oisin Hanrahan, whose company Handy has just raised $50 million in funding to expand its "Uber for home maintenance" business model. And Motoring Editor Micheal McAleer has the latest on the latest scandal enveloping Volkswagen, who have announced their misreporting of vehicle emissions may not be confined to just diesel cars.
