Episode 47
Country Life with MJ Clery
Thursday, 12 December 2024 - 43 minutes
On the programme this week Blathnáid Gallagher from the Galway Wool Co - Op chats to MJ about the Galway sheep breed. Blathnáid feels that native
wool needs a direct route to market and that companies selling "so called" Irish products such as Aran and Tweed using southern hemisphere wool need to use Irish wool. Alan Crowe from the Hereford Society chats about an upcoming sale in Tullamore while Adam Woods from the Irish Farmers Journal gives the latest from Brussels on the Mercosur deal which would allow South American beef access to the EU. Dr. Shivani Pathania from Teagasc chats about the recent TV show "10 Things To Know About" which showed the research that is ongoing in relation to food packaging and how apple peel could be a real alternative to plastic as a compostable source of food packaging.
