Food puts its best foot forward

THE first anniversary of the “Taste of Ballyhoura Country” food brand will be celebrated in Kilmallock, Co Limerick, today.

It will also mark the final day of the 19th Ballyhoura International Walking Festival.

Both events are rooted in the wholesome countryside straddling the Limerick, Cork and Tipperary borders and are helping to boost the region’s rural economy.
