Ginny’s gone dry so the search is on for Offaly’s next ‘Great Goat’

An annual milking festival is taking place in Offaly this weekend - but the star goat has gone dry.

Ginny the goat has been the main attraction at the Imbolc Festival for a number of years, but this year her milk has dried up and, for obvious reasons, she can no longer take part in the ‘milking of the goat’ festival.

Oh no! Ginny's gone dry! Can you help, please share. http://t.co/fMMpO5Flno
