Festival launches were the name of the game last week, with everything from books, music and sustainability being celebrated

Last week, an Amy Winehouse Exhibition in Newbridge, a menopause summit at The Mansion House, and the opening of Linda Martin's dog sanctuary in County Dublin drew star-studded guests 

You could visit many a mart, point-to-point, or ploughing championship and not see blue rope, fencing wire, old dockets and baling tape looking quite like this

There is no buzz like live radio.
