Tim shows he’s a cut above the rest at butchers’ competition

A YOUNG Kanturk man helped Ireland to an impressive fourth place in the International Young Butcher Competition in Zurich.

Tim McCarthy of McCarthy Butchers, along with Declan O’Rourke of The Food Experience in Sligo and support member Marc Ryan of Tomas Kinsella Butchers, Gorey, Co Wexford, surprised the opposition with their performance.

It was the first time the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland, formed in 1999, had sent team to compete in the two-day event.
