We examine the future of Sheffield's craft industry, which is under threat. And do reports of Ireland's positive approach to the recession reflect the true feelings of the nation?
Winifred Robinson and her guests discuss Ireland's reponse to the recession, how are they coping and what lessons can the UK learn from their experience as we approach a similar period of austerity.
And we hear from the campaigners trying to save Sheffield's first dedicated cutlery works, part of the city's unique industrial heritage, and now under threat of closure.
