The theme for discussion on the Günther Jauch Show this evening was how people live with stress. The panel included Ursula von der Leyen, Minister for Work and Social Affairs in the Federal Government, Benedictine abbot general, an FDP politician from Lower Saxony and a rock musician.
von der Leyen, a medical doctor, married with seven children, argued how she has had to learn her way into the job. She stressed the importance of industry looking out and caring for the needs of their employees - the need for structures to be in place to help and protect people in and with their stress.
Nokter Wolf, the Benedictine, spoke of how society is undergoing a seismic change and the need for friends to talk openly and honestly with one another.
It is seldom if ever a similar style programme is to be seen on Irish television. Why not?
