Co. Cavan woman Kathleen Duffy is logging out this week, as she retires after 24 years working with Irish Farm Computers on Herdmaster, AgriNet Grass and more recently HerdAPP, on software support.
Mother of outgoing Macra na Feirme president Thomas Duffy, she has assisted in the running of the renowned Virginia Show for the past 25 years, and was involved in the setting up and running of the €1 million show centre which opened in 2014.
She lives outside Virginia, and farms with her husband Ned, as well as Thomas.
Kathleen, who has a B.Sc. Honours degree in rural development and a postgraduate higher diploma in adult and community education, remembers the beginning of farm software, back in the late 1990s.
A spate of sheep thefts has caused alarm among rural communities in west Wicklow.
There have been reports of thefts from flocks in Hollywood, Dunlavin and Shillelagh. Farmers and people living in rural areas have been urged to be on the lookout for suspicious activity, particularly at night time.
Tomas O’Connor, IFA county chair for Kildare/west Wicklow, said he had heard reports of several incidents in west Wicklow. “It’s very worrying for farmers,” he said.
A spokesperson for Baltinglass garda division said investigations were continuing into two separate thefts of a substantial number of sheep in the area in recent months.
