A young woman from Ballinacurra, Midleton, has won one of the country’s most generous farm scholarships. Lydia McGrath was one of the four recipients of the 2024 John Feely Foundation Scholarships hosted at their Limerick head office by ICMSA and the Association’s president, Denis Drennan.
Mr Drennan said the standard of the applicants overall was very encouraging and that of the four individuals concerned was outstanding.
“The standard we’re seeing in the young people coming through bodes well for the sector: they’re technically very strong and environmentally aware, they’re also committed to building on the standards already achieved.
“ICMSA is delighted to be associated with the John Feely Scholarship programme, and we’ll be getting out the details for the 2025 awards programme in due course and we’d welcome applications from the dairy families of Meath,” he said.
