    Looking forward too to the Sneem black pudding next week. This is a baked pudding rather than boiled TMK.

    Good piece on farmland birds - shows how simple low cost measures can recover their populations. Its a pity so much time and money has been wasted via REPS etc. by DAFM when simple commonsense measures in relation to hedges and headlands could make such a difference:(

    Think that's the type of thing the Bride Valley Project would be promoting.
    So their is no need to reinvent the wheel here. No need for another pilot.

    Pilots allow us to do something meaningful on a small enough scale that it costs very little but allows an awful lot of bluster and talking it up to happen. It’s a political tool as much as anything.

    Was a poignant start to the program tonight, well haldled, PJ spoke well, quite a story he has.
    Family separation is a story that seems to dog many societies across the world at different times. Times have changed thank god.

    Really interesting piece on the embryo transfer.

    Pity it’s not an hour.
    There’s enough agri related business in ireland to support it.

    The programme is in 3 sections with one presenter doing each. A hour long might indeed work well, tease out themes more. Amazing the number of farming programmes on diff channels.

    If they stop just thinking about the urban viewers there are many more topics that actual farmers would be interested in.

    I remember watching Telefis Feirme with Justin Keating when I was small. Great presenter, know a few lads had him later as a lecturer and he was brilliant at transferring knowledge. Sadly, there wouldn't be a critical mass in any single country, probably nowadays.

    Yes indeed, Michael Dillon speaking straight to the camera. The fish prices and quantities at the different ports was also given on radio about 6.20pm every evening. Not sure if that had a different presenter.

    Dillon indeed.
    I remember it in and I remember not understanding a damn thing he was talking about.
    Asking that that was and being told to “whisht and let the man talk”

    You need a good presenter who's had life experience and not pardon the pun "a dry sh**e".

    Dai Jones 'llanilar' on S4C in Wales always had a way with him and could drag out a half hour, hour, whatever from any country subject.
