Business leaders conquer 26 Irish peaks in just nine days to raise €1.5m for children facing cancer
BUSINESS leaders from across Ireland and Britain have scaled the highest mountain in each of 26 counties across Ireland in just nine days to raise €1.5m in support of children facing cancer. The 26 Mountains 2 Mayo challenge saw 25 participants endure rain, winds, low visibility and gruelling terrain, as well as sleep deprivation from early morning starts and late nights. The physical and mental challenge saw them climb a total of 11,000m — the equivalent of ascending Mount Everest 1.25 times — in aid of the charity, Cancer Fund for Children. "This was more than a test of strength, it was a show of solidarity with children who climb their own mountains every day," said Roger Johnston, CEO of Axial3D and organiser of the challenge.

Donegal on June 7, the team covered the hills and mountains across Ulster, before moving into Connacht, across to Leinster — where they were joined by some Irish rugby legends — and then down to Munster. Finally, having tested every ounce of physical and mental endurance, they made their way back to Connacht for the last leg — Mweelrea in Co. Mayo on June 15. "Every step we took, no matter how steep, was inspired by the families who face cancer with courage and resilience," added Mr Johnston. "The pain in our legs is nothing compared to what young people have to endure, and we're proud to have walked for them." Joey Wynne, CEO of Arachas Corporate Brokers, Phil Alexander, CEO of Cancer Fund for Children, Roger Johnston, CEO of Axial3D and 26 Mountains 2 Mayo challenge organiser, and Maria Small, Partnership and Philanthropy Advisor at Cancer Fund for Children (Image: Trish Forde) The funds raised will go directly to Cancer Fund for Children, which offers vital emotional and therapeutic support to children across Ireland. The charity's services are delivered in hospitals, family homes and at its own therapeutic short break centre, Daisy Lodge, in Newcastle, Co. Down. With demand far exceeding capacity, the charity is now preparing to build a second Daisy Lodge in Cong, Co. Mayo, with construction set to begin in July 2025. Pictured at Ashford Lodge following the final climb are CEO of Cancer Fund for Children, Phil Alexander, and Young Ambassador for the charity, Vanessa Matczak (Image: Trish Forde) "Every week, approximately 10 children and young people in Ireland are diagnosed with cancer," said Phil Alexander, CEO of Cancer Fund for Children. "The 26 Mountains 2 Mayo team has not only raised vital funds but awareness, spirit and hope. "Their passion and perseverance are an inspiration to us all and a lifeline to the families we support." CEO of Axial3D and challenge organiser, Roger Johnston, CEO of campaign sponsor Arachas Corporate Brokers, Joey Wynne and CEO of Cancer Fund for Children, Phil Alexander (Image: Trish Forde) The fundraiser was sponsored by Arachas Corporate Brokers, who have previously supported the charity. Joey Wynne, Arachas CEO said: "This challenge reminds us what we can achieve when we unite for a cause greater than ourselves. "The strength and humanity shown by this team is nothing short of incredible and Arachas is proud to stand behind such life-changing work. "Together, we've climbed for courage, for care, and for every child who needs to know they're not alone."

easyJet founder launches €500,000 business awards to promote cross-border entrepreneurship in Ireland
EASYJET founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou has launched an initiative designed to celebrate and support cross-border entrepreneurship and encourage start-ups on the island of Ireland. The North-South Business Cooperation Awards will see a total prize fund of €500,000 awarded to 18 entrepreneurs, across nine teams, who have started businesses registered in Ireland or Northern Ireland within the past five years and who are now trading cross-border. "These awards represent more than just recognition — they embody a commitment to building a better, more connected future on the island of Ireland," said Mr Haji-Ioannou. 'Lasting peace and economic prosperity' The awards were launched today by the Stelios Foundation at the Monaghan Peace Campus. Among those in attendance was Daniel Mulhall, former Irish Ambassador to Britain, the US, Germany and Malaysia, who championed the initiative as a brilliant economic opportunity for all communities. The awards will culminate on Thursday, October 30 this year with a high-profile ceremony at Castle Leslie Estate in Co. Monaghan. The symbolic location close to the border was chosen to honour the spirit of cross-community partnership. Mr Haji-Ioannou — who launched the first flight from Luton Airport to Belfast a few months after the Good Friday agreement in 1998 — will personally present the awards and meet the finalists. "When businesses from both sides of the border collaborate, they do more than drive economic growth; they build trust, create lasting jobs and strengthen the social and economic fabric of our communities," said Mr Haji-Ioannou. "We are working for lasting peace and economic prosperity on the island of Ireland. "Just as easyJet brought people together across Europe, these awards bring businesses together across the island of Ireland — empowering them to grow, hire and contribute to a stronger all-island economy." 'Timely and inspiring' The initiative is being partnered by the charity Co-operation Ireland. Ian Jeffers, the charity's Chief Executive, said the awards would have a lasting economic benefit for all communities. "Cross-border business partnerships can play a powerful role in promoting peace, prosperity and shared understanding," he said. "These awards recognise that co-operation is not just a shared ideal — it's a powerful driver of real economic progress. "Sir Stelios' commitment to backing ambitious entrepreneurs across the island is both timely and inspiring. "By supporting ventures that operate beyond traditional boundaries, we're helping to embed lasting economic ties that benefit communities North and South." Applications are now open for cross-border business entrepreneurs that meet the criteria, with full details and entry forms available for download by clicking here. Applications are to be submitted to [email protected] no later than 5pm Irish time on September 15, 2025. See More: Easyjet, Monaghan, Stelios Haji-Ioannou

Virgin Media warns of programme cuts and job losses without injection of State funding
Virgin Media has warned of a potential loss of jobs and cuts to popular programmes without further State funding. The broadcaster told the Oireachtas Media Committee that it has concerns as to whether it can continue to deliver public service programming at its current output if its funding remains at the same level. In March 2024, Virgin Media had sought €30m in funding for its news, current affairs, and daytime programming but received nothing, managing director Áine Ní Chaoindealbháin said. As a result, it was forced to make some "difficult decisions" in terms of programming due to its commercial situation. The decision was taken last year to reduce The Tonight Show from four nights a week to two, which Ms Ní Chaoindealbháin said resulted in job losses. The station produces 36.5 hours of live public service content a week in addition to commissions and acquisitions, the committee heard. Virgin Media Television is the only Section 70 licence operator in the country and was the only one to apply for it when it was brought in. Ms Ní Chaoindealbháin said this is because it is not an attractive proposition, "it is far easier to come in and not to have the onerous task of doing news and current affairs". This is not simply a matter of funding; it is a matter of underpinning the presence and depth of Irish public service broadcasting in Ireland for the future. Meanwhile, committee chair Alan Kelly has criticised the media minister Patrick O'Donovan's "unilateral" decision to block plans to introduce a streaming levy. Screen Producers Ireland CEO Susan Kirby said she felt "shocked and deflated" on learning the minister's decision. "Deflated because it had been an industry-wide effort over a number of years and there was a lot of benefit by actually working together as an industry in that way," said Ms Kirby. "I will also say that we felt a degree of pragmatism because we are not immune to looking at the geopolitical environment and saying, ok potentially a bad time for what we believe is still a very important and good idea." The legislation was also criticised for its lack of clarity surrounding additionality as Mr Kelly said even after going through the legislation "upside down and inside out" the committee is still unsure of what the rules are. There are concerns that, as it is written now, broadcasters could withdraw public content only to later reintroduce it because then it may qualify for funding as a result.
