The village of Drom in Tipperary might be tiny but the community’s recent fundraising efforts have been mammoth.

Well in excess of €100,000 has been raised for their own Liam Brereton – a young farmer who suffered life-changing injuries following a car accident last Christmas. Liam was doing his Green Cert in Kildalton at the time of the accident. I’m told he has incredible strength which will stand to him during his recovery at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire.

It takes a village as they say, and in the farming community it more often than not takes a tractor run too.
