This was a busy week both on and off farm as we headed to Dublin on Tuesday for the announcement of €104m euro in government funding for Science Foundation Ireland which will be divided between four SFI research centres, Vistamilk, Biorbic, Future Neuro and I-Form. 

It may have been a wet day in Cork, but the farmer in me checked the weather forecast, and it became a chance to wear a summer dress as we enjoyed glorious sunshine in Dublin. We had lunch with a good friend and strolled to the Mansion House afterwards for the event.
