Every industry is adapting to a more sustainable way of business and in the hospitality sector, food waste is a major contributing factor to a kitchens’ environmental status.  
​
There are numerous obstacles to combating this challenge, and regulating the monitoring of food is one. Gráinne O’Keefe is the culinary director of BuJo, renowned Irish burger joint where sustainability is at the forefront of business. They were looking for reliable temperature monitoring to reduce the amount of food wasted on their premises and to eliminate all paperwork from their HACCP procedures.

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has published Aviation Statistics for Quarter 1 2022. Passenger numbers are received for the five main airports: Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Knock, and Kerry.

Commenting on the release, Dr Nele van der Wielen, Statistician, said: “The figures show an increase in international travel during Q1 2022. However, data shows that passengers travelling to and from Ireland are still down by 21% compared with Q1 2020 and down by 37% compared with same period in 2019.

Almost 2.2 million more passengers travelled to Ireland in Q1 2022 when compared with Q1 2021, but this is 1.6 million fewer passengers when compared with the same period in 2019.

In Q1 2022, 2.3 million passengers departed from Ireland, which was 2.1 million more than the same period in 2021, but still fewer by 1.6 million when compared with Q1 2019."

​A proposed 20 cent levy on single-use coffee cups "sends the wrong message on sustainability" and the Government needs to rethink its strategy, according to a body representing the retail industry in Ireland.

The measure was announced earlier this year by the Government as part of the Circular Economy Bill, which is aimed at reducing waste and influencing behaviour.
​
​Minister of State Ossian Smyth has said the levy is designed to wean people off single use containers and switch to reusable keep cups.

​New Central Statistics Office figures show that the domestic economy shrank by 1% on a quarterly basis during the first three months of the year which began with the economy in a Covid-19 lockdown and ended with inflation beginning to climb rapidly.

Gross domestic product, a broader measure of economic activity, grew by 10.8% on the quarter, the CSO said.
