Age-old potato blight battle

Fiann Ó Nualláin says prevention is key when fighting to keep spoiling spores at bay

I am a big fan of the seanfhocail — there is just so much wisdom in those old Irish proverbs. I have often dropped them into my writing and talks and I apply them in my personal life constantly.

Cards on table — I have a book coming out at the end of August about learning mindfulness and resilience through the proverbs, so they have been even more to the forefront of my consciousness for months now.
