This weeks guest on Stand Out with Ian O’Connell is both Antoinette O’Sullivan and Rena Blake. They are involved in Kerry Social Farming which is operating social farms since 2014, Kerry Social Farming was founded on principles of equality, social inclusion, voluntary community development and collaboration. It is currently one of two projects operating the voluntary model of social farming in Ireland, in that farmers are not paid for their time with participants. It is a locally-led, community-based,  that provides farming and social inclusion opportunities to people with physical and intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injuries and those engaging with mental health services, all within their local communities. We will be talking about the organisation, Antoinettes disability, what Rena's role is and more. This is the 7th episode of a series I will be doing over the next couple of months called ‘See it to Be it” brought to you by @radiokerry and funded by Coimisiún na Meán with the TV Licence Fee” 

That’s the call being made by Cian Prendeville who is the People Before Profit candidate in the Ireland South European elections.

Sinn Féin has called for the immediate scrapping of the TV licence. While it calls on the public to pay the licence, it says those who haven’t should be granted an amnesty. The party proposes that instead public sector broadcasting should be funded directly through the exchequer. Jerry spoke to Sinn Féin TD for Cork North Central, Thomas Gould.
