The quick thinking and swift actions of a Longford woman who performed CPR during an emergency at her business has helped save a baby girl’s life.
Freda Farrell, owner of the popular Westhouse café and B&B on the Strokestown road on the outskirts of Longford town, described the chilling moment when she ‘heard screams coming from the downstairs accommodation’ and as she entered the hallway “to find parents of a month old baby deeply distressed and screaming ‘she’s gone’.”

Live music presentation has been one of the hardest hit industries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Typical concert venues, where the audience sits elbow to elbow to fill the seating to capacity are on hold. But the UVM Lane Series, an organization dedicated to presenting live classical, jazz, folk, chamber, and choral music continues to soar. Through creative solutions, a determined staff, a generous audience, and just a bit of luck, the Series has continued to prosper and thrive, even in a global pandemic. Central to its success is The Lane Series’ dedicated staff: Natalie Neuert, Director and Department of Music faculty member; Rebecca Stone, Manager; and Freda Farrell, Operations Coordinator.
