No easy answer to the question of badgers and TB

THE other day I had a very pleasant job to do.

I was called on to raise the Green Flag that had just been won by a national school for girls in a nearby town.

This is such a good scheme, not only because it raises environmental awareness among children but also because they take the message home and preach it to their parents. It’s run by An Taisce in this country but it operates in 36 other countries round the world. Ireland is one of the most active participants, which is something to be proud of.
