Macra takes time out to hail bright future

THE clocks were turned back yesterday, but the thoughts of Macra na Feirme members attending their annual national rally in Bantry were focused on looking ahead.

Over 1,400 young people from all over the country travelled to the West Cork town for a bank holiday weekend of fun, games, discussions, competitions and farm visits.

There was also a visit to the Ballineen milk plant of the Carbery Group, owned by four co-op creameries, Bandon, Barryroe, Lissavaird and Drinagh.
