Students to gobble up turkey profits

TRANSITION year students came up with a festive idea for their mini-company – they’ve reared turkeys for Christmas.

The students at Coláiste Mhuire, Buttevant, set up the Fowl Play company to rear 25 white turkeys – one of which they will eat themselves.

Their teacher, Ann-Marie Flavin, said the inspiration for the project has come from the recent interest in food self-sufficiency and the growth of allotments.
