The Juggle: the issues facing women with young children when balancing childcare and their careers
It's an age-old problem in Ireland with no solution yet in sight. Margaret Ward writes about Work issues each week for the Irish Times as well as running her own consultancy business Clear Eye and she's written a series of articles on the Juggle in recent weeks.
Aideen Finnegan is an audio producer with The Irish Times and the host of the Better with Money podcast. She has two young children, and you'll hear her tell host Ciarán Hancock about the daily grind she and her husband face to get their kids to creche and school while also commuting to work to earn a living.
Both of them offer their clear views on what Government and employers need to do to help young mothers balance their responsibilities at home and in the workplace.

The Irish Times view on the budget debate: striking a difficult balance
A clear danger is emerging in the run up to October's budget. It is that all the spare cash available will be spent as Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael each try to get as many of their own policies into the package as they can, with the Independents also pitching in. Rather than taking a balanced view of the outlook, the negotiations thus turn into a haggling exercise. There were media reports this weekend of – unnamed– ministers saying that the economic outlook had not changed much and the budget can go ahead as planned. In this context, pressure will come on, in addition to the €9.4 billion package of tax cuts and spending increases outlined in the Summer Economic Statement, to have additional once-off measures. Ministerial statements, while suggesting there will not be a full cost-of-live package, have become more equivocal on this point. Ministers may be correct to believe that the short-term budgetary outlook has not changed markedly, with the US and EU striking a trade deal. But two points are relevant here. The first is that the two sides have really just set a framework for future talks and a lot remains to be signed off. Also, a separate US investigation into the pharma sector carries danger for Ireland., The second point is that, as Gabriel Makhlouf, the governor of the Central Bank has said, the Government needs to be careful not to add further demand to an already strongly-growing economy. This is all the more the case given the significant planned increase in State investment. READ MORE The balance will be hard to get right. But it must err towards caution. As well as the short-term issues, the economy is now facing significant uncertainties over the next few years. The trade environment is far from settled and tensions between the US and EU may still emerge. Meanwhile, the US president is determined to attract pharma investment back to the US from countries such as Ireland and this could threaten both jobs and tax revenue. And that is before we consider a troubled and rapidly changing international political situation. Ignoring these factors and squabbling over budget giveaways is the wrong approach.

European shares recover although Swiss stocks take a hit on US tariff news
European shares recovered on Monday as investors adopted a wait-and-see approach to the impact of US tariffs on global trade, although Swiss shares took a hit as the market reacted to the US's plan to impose 39 per cent tariff. DUBLIN Bank of Ireland shares lured buyers on what dealers said was a quiet day overall, with a public holiday in the Republic. The bank benefited from Friday's British supreme court ruling reversing a court of appeal finding on car loans that left lenders facing billions of pounds in compensation claims. Bank of Ireland's British business was one of those exposed. READ MORE On Monday its shares rose 2.35 per cent to €11.775. In the same sector, Permanent TSB climbed 1.92 per cent to €2.12. Among the market's bigger stocks, Ryanair climbed 2.89 per cent to close at €25.97, edging closer to the €26-mark, which dealers dubbed 'massive' for the airline. Investors have been moving into the company, Europe's biggest airline, since it emerged that London Stock Exchange Group subsidiary, FTSE Russell, proposed including the carrier in its Global Equity Index Series. The stock joined the MSCI index in June. Elsewhere, drug and medical device distributor Uniphar gained 3.9 per cent to €3.995. Dealers noted that there was little behind the move as the numbers of shares traded were low. Housebuilder Cairn Homes added 1.4 per cent to €2.175. Overall, traders said there was little on the negative front on Monday. LONDON Close Brothers Group plc (CBG) surged 23.53 per cent to 491.4 pence sterling on Monday making it the biggest beneficiary of Friday' British supreme court ruling on car loans. The firm has a large motor finance business that would have been in the firing line had judges not overturned a previous court-of-appeal finding. Lloyds Banking Group found favour with investors on the same grounds, climbing 9 per cent to 82.56p. NatWest advanced 3.17 per cent to 527.9p while financial adviser St James Place rose 4.68 per cent to 1,353.5p. Aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce continued its good recent run, getting a 2.35 per cent lift-off to 1,090p. Pest control specialist Rentokil slid more than 2 per cent to 354.3p after the company reported a sharp fall in earnings per share over the first half of the year. Chronic illness treatment specialist Convatec dipped 0.87 per cent to 229p. EUROPE Europe's benchmark Stoxx 600 closed ahead on Monday following Friday's sharp fall sparked by the introduction of US tariffs. However, Switzerland's SMI fell as much as 1.9 per cent in early trade as investors returned following a public holiday on Friday, the day on which Washington imposed a tariff of 39 per cent on Swiss goods. The index cut losses back to around 0.2 per cent later in the day. Luxury watchmaker Richemont was 1.27 per cent off at 131.7 Swiss francs. UBS, one of the country's best-known banks, fell 0.7 per cent to 30.22 Swiss francs after confirming that it would pay $300 million to resolve US mortgage securities cases. US US shares bounced back on Monday following Friday's sell-off as investors bet on deeper Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in the wake of unexpectedly weak jobs figures. By 5.40pm Irish time, the Dow Jones Indsutrial average had risen 463.55 points or 1.06 per cent, the S&P 500 was up 74.56 points or 1.2 per cent and the Nasdaq composite had climbed 325.95 points or 1.58 per cent. Tesla rose 1.2 per cent after granting chief executive Elon Musk 96 million shares worth about $29 billion. Spotify jumped 6.8 per cent as the music streaming platform announced plans to increase the monthly price of its premium individual subscription in select markets from September.

Liechtenstein's LGT takes stake in CEO advisory firm Teneo
Advisory group Teneo , which has a large presence in Dublin, has received a minority investment from an asset manager owned by Liechtenstein's royal family, in a deal that values the advisory group at $2.3 billion (€1.99 billion) and ends a long-running process by the firm's owner CVC to sell down its stake. Under the deal, Teneo will remain majority owned by private equity group CVC, which acquired the firm at a valuation of more than $700 million in 2019, according to people familiar with the matter. Liechtenstein's LGT Capital Partners has become a minority owner, they added. Teneo, which describes itself as a 'CEO advisory firm', is among the largest public relations and financial communications groups, and also counsels on corporate turnarounds and restructuring. READ MORE It advises executives and boards of blue-chip companies such as oil major Chevron and UK-listed Unilever and Tesco, and has drawn scrutiny for its work for Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. [ Former tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald joins consultancy firm Teneo as adviser Opens in new window ] Teneo's Irish business has 100 people working across five business segments with annual revenues of about €20 million. The Irish arm, which is led by Michael O'Keeffe, numbers former Fine Gael minister Frances Fitzgerald as a senior adviser. She is on a Teneo Ireland advisory board that is chaired by businessman Gary McGann and includes former Ireland and Lions rugby captain Brian O'Driscoll. LGT, which has more than $100 billion of assets, has acquired minority stakes in companies since 2010. CVC — which bought out BC Partners' stake in Teneo when it invested in 2019 — will remain the majority owner while members of Teneo management will also retain shareholdings, following the LGT deal, the people said. The new money from LGT will allow CVC to distribute some funds to its backers, another person said, at a time when private equity groups have been under pressure to return cash to their investors amid a slowdown in deals. CVC had explored various options for Teneo, including a sale, before opting for a deal that hands LGT a minority stake, one of the people said, adding that LGT would have a double-digit percentage ownership. Globally, Teneo competes with the likes of Brunswick, FTI Consulting and FGS Global, which was acquired by KKR at a valuation of around $1.6 billion last year amid industry consolidation. It was founded in 2011 by US businessman Doug Band — a former aide to Bill Clinton — and Tipperary man Declan Kelly, who was appointed by Hillary Clinton as a US economic envoy to Northern Ireland. However, a series of scandals led to two of its three founders departing abruptly during the pandemic. The company is now led by another co-founder Paul Keary. New York-based Teneo has expanded through acquisitions, including boutique UK PR groups Tulchan, Blue Rubicon and Stockwell. It also bought Deloitte's British restructuring business in 2021. People familiar with the company said that unit had performed significantly better than many of the firm's traditional business lines, which face fierce competition in a sector that is threatened by the growth of artificial intelligence. Bloomberg News first reported LGT's investment. Teneo, CVC and LGT declined to comment. - Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2025
