Obviously we would love to see you at the National Rural Network annual conference this coming Tuesday, 1st of December, but just in case you can’t make it we have made alternative arrangements just for you.
Starting at approximately 9:00 am on Tuesday the 1st of December we will be broadcasting LIVE over the internet from Croke Park, Dublin, allowing you to enjoy the conference, which focuses on ‘Strategic Collaboration: Building Alliances in Agriculture and Rural Development’, from the comfort of your own chair. Simply go to http://www.nrn.ie/live and sit back and enjoy.
We will also be reporting live on twitter from @ruralnetwork

Have just listened to several of the sessions - very striking how big farming remains in ROI but worry about the inherent lack of profitability in farming (as in the UK also)etc.I like the notion of Ireland - the food island - but wonder whether it is possible quickly enough to scale up that branding to secure the viability of Ireland’s farming sector. But good luck with that venture - maybe as one person said it might be time for another Plunkett to emerge!
I particularly liked Ciaran’s closing remarks on collaboration and his injunction to come with a perspective not a position.
Hi Geoff,
