The Menu is glad to see the poor benighted banks being afforded some well-deserved TLC with a clutch of their very own holidays arriving in quick succession and he shall pass the next in Lovely Limerick, enjoying the exceedingly family-friendly Riverfest (May 2-5).

The Menu is forever harping on about the multiple benefits of freshly grown, seasonal, local produce and is a huge fan of the inspirational Michael Kelly’s GIY organisation, so is delighted to bring tidings of the GIY Get Ireland Growing Fund.
