Paula Hynes: School meals are vital but the waste is indefensible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I always felt the school meals programme was a great initiative and also crucial for many children, ensuring they get a nutritious meal at least once a day. It is imperative the scheme continues and reaches as many children as possible — over 550,000 primary school children will receive school meals this year, with the scheme having a budget of €286m for 2026. The initiative began as a pilot programme in 2019. I was absolutely dumbfounded this week to read some of the finer details surrounding t

With the outdoor agricultural shows finished, I always find September is a rush to catch up on so many little jobs around the farm before life gets busy again in October.

Attention to detail is what gets a fantastic cow to the very top of show-ring success. Paul Murphy and Emma Behan, who own Hillholm Holsteins in Co Cork, know every inch of that attention to detail, as they have worked with top dairy show animals across the world. However, there is something different about showing your own animals at the top level because they are simply family members. My regular readers will know I tipped Coolroehouse Abbott Ann a couple of weeks ago as the red-hot favourite
Paula Hynes: From parched paddocks to the final shows of summer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The dry weather continues. It really is putting farmers under immense pressure, with the extra workload every day of feeding what is realistically a winter diet when there should be ample grass in paddocks right now. We are feeding bales to the cows every day, along with increased meal feeding in the parlour, and we have also started feeding bales to the in-calf heifers, along with a high-energy ration every day.
