Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Sir George Martin get back to their past, providing interesting interviews that bring us here, there and everywhere, while studio footage and clips showing a day in the life of the band members help to make it all seem like yesterday that Abbey Road was recorded, though it was made a long, long time ago (your mother should know). Let it be? Never. The Music Makers BBC1, 10.45pm Perhaps best known for his chart-topping work with The Divine Comedy, Neil Hannon has had a varied career spanning 20 years. From the Father Ted theme tune and movie soundtracks to cricket-themed albums, the self-proclaimed musical genius reflects on his past work and talks about his desire to continue pushing his own musical boundaries. His self-belief may jar at times, but his debonair charm will win you over. Thar Sile TG4, 7.30pm This week Ann Marie N Dhubhchin explores the historic city of Edinburgh in Scotland to seek out all things Irish. She talks to Alan Esslemont, head of programming with BBC Alba, about the new TV stations developments.

His book Ireland In 2050 (Liberties Press, 15), a speculative account of how the country might appear in the mid-21st century, started life as a column in The Irish Times and is out now Interview by Daragh Reddin The people who made a lot of money in the last ten years will pass it on to their kids. The children of those who didnt will suffer Why did you choose to write the book and why 2050? I have two kids one is three and one is 15 months and Im really interested in the Ireland that theyre going to be faced with as adults. From reading the book it seems theyll have a lot to be thankful for? Itll be a very hopeful time and the book broadcasts that. More babies were born this year than in any year since 1897. Other countries are going to be facing long-term fertility declines so our young people will be in high demand, meaning more wages and more wealth but only if we change the Leaving Cert. Whats the problem with the Leaving Cert? It forces our kids to become gifted list learners. We need to focus on bringing out kids creativity. They need to learn how to come up with new ideas, how to design new products, how to start their own businesses and be given confidence to project themselves. Will we become a more equal society? No, if anything were going to be a more unequal place because of inter-generational wealth transfer. The people who made a lot of money in the last ten years are going to pass it on to their kids. The children of those who didnt will suffer. Well see more homeless people. What about health care. Surely advancements in technology will assist everyone in society? Trillions of euro are being spent right now on medical research. The results will be made available to the people who can afford it. Rich people will live longer. Poor people wont. For many people the most pressing worries are environmental. Is there a lot of scaremongering going on or are we right to be concerned? Were right to be concerned but its not going to be as bad for Ireland as it is for other countries. Well see about ten per cent more rainfall, meaning more flooding, meaning businesses families are on the way out? Yes, well see children raised in single parent families as the divorce rate is going to rise dramatically. What one piece of advice would you give to readers who want to equip themselves for 2050? Start saving. Buy a long-term bond. Youre going to be working for 45 years and youll probably retire when youre 75 so it makes sense to pay into something thats going to give you a return. Buy Irish government bonds they really need the money.

We need to construct levees and build them up incrementally over a number of years. How do you see our place in the global economy? Were going to have to align ourselves with the US. We need to start building trade hubs. We have the potential to build a deep-water, super-tanker port off Limerick where ships can unload cargo onto smaller tankers. Rather than become a trade stop-over well become a trade hub like Rotterdam. Many readers might be concerned about the fact you seem to advocate nuclear power? Im not saying we should build power plants. I think we should build inter-connectors to channel energy from new nuclear plants being built in the UK. In that sense, we will be a nuclear Ireland. Our current power sources arent sustainable. You suggest that nuclear power is on the way in and nuclear 14 metrolife Wednesday, October 14, 2009 index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
