Mitchelstown

So, um, the, the topics are still being finalized, but that's a very good walk to attend.

And there will be, in another area of the Dairygold Joint Program on the Thursday at the same time, 11:00 AM, Thursday, 8th of October, there will be a similar event on the farm of Tim Kent, and that's in Ballyarter in Mitchelstown.

Um, so people can find the Eir codes, uh, on our Facebook page.

Um, another event on next week down in West Cork direction, the Tim League Agricultural Catchments Program are having an open day.

You brought together 160 farmers across the country.

What progress are you making on bringing local facilities back online, like an abattoir in Mitchelstown and the planned cutting facility in Dunhill?

Well, Selina really came out of that frustration of the lack of small-scale facilities for us.

So instead of every small farmer individually fighting for exactly the same battle, we started asking other farmers around us, what happens if we can organise something ourselves? What happens if we can put the infrastructure in ourselves? You know, what's stopping us? So we've engaged with, at the top it was 160 farmers, but they're spread across Ireland.

But the exciting part is that we're not trying to replace the remaining independent abattoirs.

We're trying to keep the little ones alive.

So we're working with quite a number of independent facilities, including the work around Mitchelstown and the model for Dunhill.

And the next part really is to develop that chain, the cutting, the butchery, the packing and the value added processing.

Coming up on the 10th and 11th of October, Nature Network Ireland, along with Ballyhower Development, are hosting two free community visioning workshops.

One will be held at Forest Hall in Mitchelstown and another... at the Debert House Hotel.

The goal is to gather local stories, family histories and also the personal connections to build a collaborative public exhibition complete with a community made paper quilt.

Joining me to tell us more about the project and more importantly, how local people can get involved.

It's just really coming with curiosity and kind of an open mind.

and um but the the registrations will be limited um you know to each of the locations so we do have one in mitchell's town and one in kilmalloch in the deeper taos hotel

OK, and they are on the Mitchelstown one is the Saturday, the 10th.

And then the Diebert House Hotel is on the 11th.

Particularly there, we missed a couple of chances to go one point, or two points, three points ahead, you know.

And in fairness to Mitchelstown, they came back and like...

As part of the old cliche, we knew the half was coming and the same applied today.

We knew it was coming and, you know, one-point victory.

So that's what happened in a place called Englesborough, County Limerick.

Now, it's near Mitchelstown.

up around the Galtie Mountains, but Mitchellstown's in Cork, Anglesborough is not.

So they weren't aware.

We've a good few gigs with Down Memory Lane.

Of course, we did, last Friday we did Culture Night in Mitchelstown.

Mm-hmm.

I was on my way back from the National Concert Hall-

they mightn't get away with it this time and

like down in just finally an intermediate day could be a game of the weekend it's a local derby Mitchelstown are playing Butterfield in the qualifier that'd be a great game yeah two really good teams loads of firepower yeah Bally

Gibbons win now will give the Mitchelstown crew a lift won't they going into it and they have Marquine available

Mitchelstown lost to Drumtower last time out conceding four goals as well that was an upset Bullivant had a great win over Ireland Rovers who obviously got to the final last year so that has the makings to be a belt up it's two teams you

could comfortably see winning it like given their firepower and their balance and you know and just their I suppose their general upward curves both clubs have been on over the last few years like so great

game that's on Saturday and Glamour so yeah

Hurling you know I know obviously you know they had you know a Cork under 20 All-Ireland winning captain he's a fine footballer too but like you know and the Howards and lads like that like they're all obviously

Mitchelstown are favourites you know for that competition in the intermediate so but obviously they can still win it but it's definitely a setback definitely a setback for them before Dumped Halfhead are playing Boho Bruno in the in the qualifier so that's obviously going to be tricky and Mitchelstown then have obviously Budventon in the other qualifier that'll be a great game yeah that's that's going to be a

That's part of it If it's a good day 20 points plus for each team Whoever wins it will have to break the 25 power I reckon I noticed Adrigal are back in the semi-finals again as well Barry Yeah, yeah They'll be hoping to make it Fourth time in a row They've lost the last three semis They're so consistent When you're repeatedly getting to semis You're there in their boots Just a resilience

They

know what I mean? They have players, you know, up in Cork and up the country.

You know, we're on about tight picks, they're down in barrels, every team has a tight pick.

Absolutely, the commitment they're showing in, you know, Timmy O'Sullivan is at the helm, he's been in charge of last year, as in fairness to him, he's kept the show on the road and, yeah, they'll be playing the winners of the jump half in the Boherbury game and, obviously, Boherbury beat Adderall in the semi-final two years ago, so, and in the other semi-final in Kilmore, you're playing Bullivant or Mitchelstown.

some good
