Their others guest speakers are Kathy Donaghy from Inishowen, an award winning journalist and Leona Kane, owner of Broighter Gold in Limavady.
Kathy has worked for several national newspapers including the Irish Independent where she was public affairs correspondent before leaving to work in the RTE newsroom. She has reported on many significant news stories over the last 20 years, from crime to politics. She holds a BA in English and French from NUI Maynooth and a BA in legal studies from Dublin Institute of Technology. She is also a qualified pilates teacher and children's yoga teacher and runs creative writing courses for children. Kathy has an amazing true life story and will tell you how and why she moved from a busy high profile media life in Dublin back to her native Donegal to set up her business.
Leona Kane’s story is amazing and she will tell you how she founded Broighter Gold Rapeseed Oil after deciding to try the oil from the seed grown on her husband's farm when she ran out of olive oil for cooking one evening. She will tell you how much easier it is to sell a product that you are passionate about, and it means so much to be able to sell a product that is grown, processed and marketed direct from your own farm. They were recently awarded the Economusee (Artisans at Work) for NI through the Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust, and have been travelling to UK and Canada promoting their oil.
