In this episode of #TonightVMTV we dive into the escalating international trade war as the EU strikes back with counter-tariffs — how will this impact Irish exporters? We speak to a major whiskey producer and discuss the political and economic fallout with our expert panel.

As the government reluctantly mentions the "R-word" for the first time, is Ireland ready for a potential recession, and what’s the emergency plan to handle an economic downturn?

We also explore the rising cost of coffee and ask: how much are you willing to pay for your daily caffeine fix? Plus, should the big TV streaming platforms pay the 'Netflix Levy' to support the production of more home-grown content?

Join Timmy Dooley TD, Sinead Gibney TD, John Lee, Liz Carolan, Mary Sadlier, Craig Brady, and Larry Bass for an in-depth discussion.
