Farming just outside the townland of Ballymahon in Co. Longford is farmer and businessman Michael Delaney, who has recently built a new beef unit on his farm.
The Longford native took over the farm from his late father just over five years ago, and has since put his own stamp on the farm and, although he still continues using some of his father’s methods, he has gone down the route of rearing and supplying his own beef for his recently opened
sit-in takeaway restaurant in Ballymahon – called Jolly Boys.
Therefore, in order to run the new food business, his already established Midland Lighting company and the farm – he had to look at making the farm more efficient to run and to try and cut down on labour.
