Joe MahonLesser Spotted Ulster – Virginia, Co Cavan – Part Two
Part two of two. Joe Mahon returns to Virginia, Co Cavan, where final preparations for one of the largest agricultural shows in the country get under way. He learns how to pull a horse’s mane, balance a cow’s udder and blow-dry a feathered friend, before focusing his energies on winning a wellie-decorating competition
Virginia really enjoyed part 1 on the 8th November and look forward to Part 2 on Tuesday night. We thank Joe and his team for their visits, it was a pleasure. We extend an invitation to return again as soon as possible. There is much more to see.
