May|June 2020 Editor's Letter • 'It is often in May|June 2020 Editor's Letter • 'It is often in the DARKEST SKIES that we see the BRIGHTEST STARS' - Richard Evans. “This quote has been popping into my head a lot lately. It’s always when we are most tested that we discover just how resilient we as humans are. When things get difficult, we each possess within us the ability to step forward into the darkness and shine brightly. Watching these past few weeks as people all over Ireland have dropped off groceries, written letters to neighbours, donated their money, time and resources, and, most of all, fought to save lives in the face of Covid-19 has been nothing short of amazing. All examples of how, big or small, we each possess the ability to be a shining light for someone who needs help. One such woman who is no stranger to giving strength to others in challenging times is Vicky Phelan. April marks two years since she stood on the steps of the courts and read her statement exposing the CervicalCheck scandal. Since then she has campaigned tirelessly, demanding change for women who needlessly suffered, all while dealing with her own terminal diagnosis. She spoke to me about how even in the darkest moments, she has found hope again and again. I owe a huge thank you the amazing Irish Country Magazine team who put their hearts and souls into this issue. Working remotely from their homes, they have put together a very special magazine which I hope will provide some entertainment and escapism from the current situation, if even for a few moments. These past few weeks have been undoubtedly difficult, especially so for those who have sadly lost loved ones. Our thoughts are with all of our readers, we wish you well. And we thank you, as always, for your wonderful support.” @klaraheron, Editor of @irishcountrymag.

Stay Cool • In the May|June issue, Ruth O'Connor Stay Cool • In the May|June issue, Ruth O'Connor looks at the Irish designers breathing new life into linen: “Linen is a beautiful fabric which is comfortable to wear, it is antimicrobial and only improves with age. From the point of view of sustainability, the flax grown to produce linen here is grown in northern Europe and uses only three percent of the water required to grow cotton. Flax also absorbs more carbon than it emits making linen a more environmentally friendly option than organic cotton.” - @ruthoconnorsays.
