Irish Farmers Journal

Last Thursday, January 16, the Cahir Social and Historical Society first lecture for 2025 saw a guest appearance by an Editor of a national publication.

The lecture took place in Cahir House Hotel and started at 8pm.

Cahir Social & Historical Society were delighted to welcome Jack Kennedy, Editor of the ‘Farmers Journal’ to deliver a lecture. Jack's talk focused on "The Changing Face of Food and Agriculture in Rural Ireland - Through the History of the Farmers Journal" and it was well received by the audience.

Appeal made to safeguard important site in Tipperary heritage town

Jack has strong connections to Cahir with his parents, John and Bridie still residing in Garnavilla just outside the town.

Once again there was a great crowd attendance with great interest in the topic and many questions asked and answered on the night.

What a great start to activities for Cahir Social & Historical Society for 2025.

We look forward to the next scheduled event on their calendar, so watch this space for more details.
