Happy Friday everyone! Whether you're staycationin Happy Friday everyone! Whether you're staycationing, working, have lots of plans or planning to do nothing at all, we hope you find some time for a little self care along the way. One of the best people we know for spreading feel good vibes is Aoife McElwain, who (pre-lockdown) spreads joy with her team of Craic Mechanics via @singalongsocial - the cheesy tunes parties where everyone is welcome. In the July|August issue, Aoife writes in our Place to Love feature about her love of the stage as well as her five steps to achieving the perfect crowd surf. Read her joyful account inside the magazine, out now and the perfect addition to your long weekend (if we do say so ourselves!). #irishcountrymag #informinspireindulge #irishmagazine #singalongsocial #placetolove #longweekend
In her interview for the July|August issue, Claire In her interview for the July|August issue, Claire Byrne spoke candidly about her relationship with Marian Finucane, the late broadcaster who she valued dearly as a role model and friend: “I remember being completely in awe of her. I would present my Saturday show straight after her and I had to go into her studio to do a promo for my show and I don’t think I ever stopped being nervous because Marian had this air about her that you had to go in there and perform. “She would always let you know how she thought you were doing, maybe not with her words but certainly with how she would throw you a look over her glasses, so I was always scared. And that came from knowing how brilliant she was and how much she had achieved. I liked that she expected people to be as good as she was. “She paved the road for us, for women who came after her, and I think there should always be a debt of gratitude for people like Marian Finucane who entered a very male domain and put their chair behind the microphone and got on with it. It was much tougher for her to do it in the early days than it is for me now and I’m always conscious of that.” Read Claire's full interview inside the magazine, in stores nationwide now. #irishcountrymag #informinspireindulge #irishmagazine #ClaireByrne

"Here in Ireland we were a few weeks behind what w "Here in Ireland we were a few weeks behind what was going on in other parts of Europe; so I think seeing the effects it was having on the health system, the older population, you were saying to yourself, 'okay what I can do to help?' If I'm needed to do something I'll definitely put my hand up and say I'm available. The majority of people volunteered to do this, so I think everyone felt the same... We just wanted to help and maybe by helping in some way we might be able to get to the end of it sooner." - Siobhán Manning is a Public Health Nurse who volunteered to work in a Covid-19 testing centre back in March, which involved long hours wearing PPE swabbing sometimes scared and vulnerable people. In the July|August issue she speaks openly and passionately about her profession and feeling anxious these past four months. She shares her respect for fellow frontliners, especially healthcare staff: "A job that was once traditionally seen as a vocation, is now being seen as a career carried out by academically and emotionally intelligent men and women, all of whom have to go college to get a degree... Following this we are able to deliver lifesaving, vital care with compassion and with professional confidence. I think even getting that recognition has been something massive."
