Brothers are chip off the old block

THE five Flynn brothers, Gerry, Laurence, Vincent, Paul and Fergal, are the fifth generation of their family to farm in Rush, Co Dublin — a heart land of vegetable and potato growing.

It is hardly surprising then that they are among a small group of farmers chosen by Teagasc to feature in a series of online video profiles to highlight the United Nations designated International Year of Family Farming.

The videos feature a variety of different families who tell their story and highlight aspects of their lives and why farming is an important part of their family.
