Ploughing first-timer was truly enthralled by modular builds and snazzy quad bikes | The Southern Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I CONSIDER myself pretty discerning (some might say fussy) about what I give my attention to and what I don’t. For example, if Oasis were playing in my local hall, I’m not sure I’d really go and see them – that’s how hard it can be to get me interested and onboard. So no one was more surprised than myself at how utterly invested and enraptured I was by a nail-hammering competition at the National Ploughing Championships last Wednesday (September 16). Exactly as the name suggests, this was a comp
WOMAN ON THE VERGE: Woodland woes of a family hike | The Southern Star (opens the original)

What’s with all the Halloween merchandise? When is it okay to leave a WhatsApp group? And why all the fuss about The Traitors? WARNING: there’s a rant incoming and a very predictable one at that. I popped into the shop the other today for one of those top-up shops that these days always seem to cost just slightly less than the main shop, so I’ll admit to being a bit on the cranky side from the get-go. The mood wasn’t helped when queuing to pay, I was confronted by a mountain of boxes of chocolat
HOME AND GARDEN: How to turn your bedroom into a restful sanctuary | The Southern Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IN an ideal world my bedroom would look like a hotel suite. This article was featured in our West Cork Home & Garden Autumn 2026 magazine – you can read the full magazine here!

It’s the place where I bring the washing to put away, get distracted and leave a pile to ‘come back to later’ – often much, much later. It’s also the place where I shove ‘stuff’ when visitors come, and then they just end up living
Meet Tim Casey our September West Cork Farming Award winner | The Southern Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TIM Casey can vividly remember sitting in UCC’s library in December 2017 when he was supposed to be studying for his Christmas exams in Applied Plant Biology, but instead he was consumed by grass. “I was reading research and articles from all over the world, looking at different ways of measuring grass, from eyeballing and plate meters to cut-and-weigh methods. I was also looking at emerging technology in Australia and New Zealand, including satellite imagery and remote pasture measurement,” sai
Bandon mum facing second surgery hopes lung cancer screening programme agreed | The Southern Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE community of West Cork is rallying around a woman who has campaigned tirelessly for better lung cancer services in this country - and who is now facing her second personal cancer battle. Bandon woman Gillian Ryan was diagnosed with lung cancer in November 2021, just days after her 40th birthday. Extremely fit and an avid runner, she didn’t fit any of the usual criteria for the disease and her only symptom was slight breathlessness when going up stairs. She underwent a life-saving lobectomy t
