Among all the social activities put on hold during Covid-19 restrictions, spare a thought for the residents of a Cork village who for 20 long months have been unable to take their Tart home from the pub.

Since its introduction in 2019, the people of Béal Átha ’n Ghaorthaidh had taken the Tart to their hearts, with the Taistil Áitiúil Rural Transport initiative (TART) collecting customers from their doorsteps and dropping them home after a night out at local hostelries.
