A pastry chef who was helped by a programme to support female entrepreneurs who live in rural Ireland is highlighted in the annual report of the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine.

Based on a belief that people learn best from each other, the initiative is focused on interactive round table sessions facilitated by female entrepreneurs who have started and successfully grown businesses in rural Ireland.
