Kilkenny family the main feature on RTE programme
From this week's Clara Notes
Last Thursday’s Ear to the Ground farming programme featured the Treacy family of Freneystown, County Kilkenny, with Clara camogie player Aoife Treacy amongst those to feature on the broadcast.
The programme, which is scheduled weekly as part of RTE One's prime-time scheduling, averages in excess of over 300,000 viewers each week.
For anyone that missed it the programme is well worth a viewing on RTE Player. The segment highlighted Aoife’s achievement of overcoming a learning disability to forge out a very successful career for herself as a dairy farmer on her father Marty’s farm.
With guidance from her dad and mam, and with weekend help from her sister Siobhán (another Clara camogie player) Aoife runs a very successful operation and it was evident on the programme how proud her parents are of her.
Another sister Niamh, who also hurls for Clara, is currently domiciled in Australia.
