Menswear, the best of frenemies, new school, malting barley and Motion of the Day

A wide and varied episode if ever there was one. We remember Andy Bergin, the former Timahoe publican who passed away, as well as Leon de Barra, a former school principal, who also died this week. Plus we discuss the planning permission that has been granted for the new Dunamase College in Portlaoise, the malting barley controversy and a variety of topics that came up at the full meeting of Laois County Council this week - from hot school meals to St Patrick's Day in New York, approved housing bodies to a United Ireland.
