  • This week on Let’s Go Green with Aisling O’Rourke on Midlands 103, we’re focusing on biodiversity, sustainable farming, and community health. Ricky Whelan, Biodiversity Officer with Offaly County Council, joins me to discuss the county’s upcoming Biodiversity Conference, showcasing the important work being done to protect and restore local ecosystems. We’ll explore why these initiatives matter and how they contribute to a healthier environment. Andrew Chilton of Farming for Nature shares insights into the real challenges Irish farmers face in meeting their environmental commitments. From policy demands to practical solutions, we’ll examine what’s needed to support farmers in balancing food production with sustainability. We’ll also highlight an important health survey taking place in the village of Ballylinan, County Laois. This initiative aims to gather insights into local health concerns and well-being, offering residents a chance to have their voices heard and shape future support services. Tune in every Monday night at 7 PM on Midlands 103, or listen to the podcast anytime on your favourite platform.
