Recorded mainly on location back in and around Trinity, Gerry Foley catches up with several more fellow 1982 graduates.......he also has a sit down interview with his former Economics Professor , John O'Hagan who is marking nearly 50 years as a college lecturer. He also caught up with Hugo MacNeill who talks about his ongoing involvement with Trinity through the People with Intellectual Disabilities initiative as well as his top class international rugby career while studying economics at TCD. As this is the last episode, the overall tone is reflective, but Gerry also speaks to some current students for a sense of what their own Trinity experience is like in 2022.

With the world's economy facing huge challenges, Gerry Foley talks to 3 fellow TCD graduates who've spent their careers observing and investing in long term economic and business trends. Gabriel Fagan is a former chief economist at the Central Bank of Ireland after many years with the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. Here he talks openly about what he sees as the sluggishness of the ECB in dealing with the current crisis. Both Rory Gillen in Dublin and Harry Hartford in LA run investment firms , the latter focussing on bigger institutional investors. Rory explains what advice he gives his clients on how to deal with the current market volatility while Harry reminds us of the importance of taking a 5 to 10 year perspective. From the glamour of his office on Santa Monica Boulevard in LA, Harry talks about the growing issue of homelessness in the city, sparking a conversation about the dysfunctional nature of the housing market in so many countries.
There's also memories of Trinity days, Slane castle concerts and how the Germans are really much more punctual than the Irish !!

Gerry Foley talks to 3 more 1982 graduates from Trinity College Dublin. All 3 trained as accountants, but don't let that put you off !! They jetted off to foreign climes including Bermuda, Hong Kong and Australia building highly successful international financial careers. Mervyn talks about helping Chinese state owned banks open up to the west in the early 2000s, the tremendous opportunities from being based in Hong Kong but concerns too about the more recent security clampdowns. In Sydney, JJ talks about the enjoyment of running Readers Digest, which he describes as like Amazon pre the internet, before aggressive private equity intervened. In Melbourne , Ciaran talks about 'commuting' from there to the Bahamas plus , more recently, living under a night time covid curfew as part of Melbourne's near total lockdown. Plus from Trinity days, some great memories of mates, pints and and a certain "Bachelors' Silver Salver" behind the counter of a Pearce Street Bar !!
