Mental health system too drug-related, says Irons as he launches farm project
Irons, who lives at Kilcoe near Ballydehob in West Cork, travelled to north Co Cork yesterday with his wife Sinéad Cusack to open a community farm, which provides a supportive living environment for those with mental health difficulties.
The Slí Eile Farm at Burton Park, outside the village of Churchtown, is home to five tenants, as well as to a variety of animals, including two Aberdeen Angus cows, 12 hens, two ducks, and two pigs.
