TASTE Council
Author: Georgina Campbell

A family invitation to attend the inaugural Westport Food Festival (2-4 September 2011) got us itching to head west, so we bundled our two little boys into the car and hit the road, heading for the Hotel Westport.

Insider View - On Causing Offence


Lucy & Johnny Madden - Hilton Park Clones County Monaghan Ireland
Author: Lucy Madden
Sister number one has caused unpardonable offence to sister number two by referring to her work chairing an arts organisation as a 'piddling little job'. This is a slight that will resurface over the years and none of its sting will lessen.
