SHARING OPTIONS:
Thomas Hubert winning the best news category and the overall best journalist or The Bull category at the 2018 guild of agricultural journalists awards.
When Thomas Hubert and myself sit down for our virtual interview, he is fresh from his own interview with Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue.
“He didn’t give too much away,” Thomas laughs, adding that the minister kept his cards close to his chest.
Thomas’s name is synonymous with lifting the lid on the Kerry shares scandal and FOI’ing the competition watchdog, so I’m not surprised the minister was careful with his words.
AN ANCIENT craft is undergoing a revival in Mountshannon. Artists and blacksmith Mark Wilson has created a video series to share the knowledge and lore.
A series of short pieces, shared on his Facebook page, have been getting major traction, and in Mark’s own words have “literally gone bananas”. Entitled ‘Revival – Tricks and Trades for the New World,’ the series has touched, to-date, on topics including wood crafts, making gifts and the ‘heritage of hammers’. On Hallowe’en night, Mark went live on Facebook and – lit by candle light – discussed the traditions and folklore associated with the festival.
“I had been travelling the length and breadth of Ireland working in schools and passing on craft techniques,” he explained. “I have quite a lot of knowledge at this stage and I wanted to pass it one. This was something I was working on well before lockdown, but now making videos has become incredibly trendy.”
