Description

UTV reporter Charlie Witherspoon visits Belleek and the local Fair Day. Charlie speaks to the Tom Daly, the Secretary of the local Farmer’s Mart, about how the mart was the first to be approved by government to be run without auctioneers three years earlier. Charlie also speaks to a local cattle farmer about the benefits of this system and the cameras take a close up view of some ot the slightly arcane system of hand slapping between the farmers - which appear to equally indicate deals being done or not being done!
