Collins looking for one final pay day

REMEMBER that superb English series about a family veterinary practice in rural Yorkshire, All Creatures Great And Small? Since returning to his home-place in west Cork, that has been the life of Fachtna Collins for the past five years.

Back to his roots after a journey that took him from Dublin, where he qualified, to Kanturk, where he cut his teeth, Fachtna has now established his own practice among the fields and farmers he grew up with.

Through all the years he was away, however, his heart never really left.
