Dairy Farmers Open Day - Kildalton

The heatwave continues bringing plenty of smiles to faces all over the country but also bringing pressure on farming. Teagasc & Glanbia Ireland held an Open Day for dairy farmers on the Kildalton Open Source Sustainable Demonstration Farm, Kildalton College, Piltown, Co. Kilkenny. Damien was there & spoke to Jim Bergin of Glanbia & Richie O'Brien of Teagasc.

Wellnice Pops

While the heatwave may be causing stress for some businesses there are others riding the crest of the wave. The Limerick based ice-pop brand, Wellnice Pops, has had a big jump in sales. In studio with Damian are Trin O'Brien & BJ Broderick, founders of this niche food business.
