Some of the country’s leaders in agri business have raised thousands for the Focus Ireland charity.

Last Friday night, Irish Farmers Journal editor Justin McCarthy, as well as Aurivo boss Aaron Forde, Ray Coyle of Tayto Park and Zoe Kavanagh from the National Dairy Council, slept out on the street in Dublin as part of the charity’s Shine a Light campaign.

At the time of going to print, Ray had raised €43,952.08, Justin and the Irish Farmers Journal raised €24,428.79, just ahead of Forde who has collected €24,393.04.

Great work by them all.
