Two Cork stories to feature on popular RTÉ show this week

Ear to the Ground presenters Ella McSweeney, Maeve Dineen and Darragh McCullough.

Two Cork stories are to feature in tomorrow night’s episode of Ear to the Ground, in the seventh episode of the popular show’s 31st season.

Presenter Ella McSweeney will be meeting a Cork farmer who is trying to completely remove artificial fertiliser from his land, who explains to her in the promo "the soil wasn't used to this, and there's a stage where the soil needs to acclimatise".

Maeve Dineen will be visiting an orchard in Cork with 148 different varieties of apples, while elsewhere in the county, Darragh McCullough will be at the Club Championships of Tug of War in Athlone.

You can watch the promo here:

Those interested in tuning in can do so at RTÉ One tomorrow night, Thursday 14 December at 7pm, or catch the repeat on Sunday 17 December at 1.10pm on the same channel.
