Last Friday we hosted Minister of State for Agriculture Martin Heydon and MEP candidate Nina Carberry for a discussion with a group of local farmers as they stopped off on route to NUI Galway for the Fine Gael Ard Fheis.
Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse, Storm Kathleen rolls in. “I’m lucky I have flat land, because if it was on any kind of slope, it would have all flowed away by now,” I heard one farmer say as he sheltered from the rain at the door of our veterinary practice.
