"You hear of people in their 20s & 30s following their dreams, & then when you get to 60, you think you're too old. You're never too old, follow those dreams."
Read the inspirational story of MIC student, Pat Savage, who has returned to education after 45 years of #farming.
Pat is currently in his first year on the Bachelor of Arts at MIC #Limerick where he's studying English, History, Philosophy, & Drama & Theatre Studies.
In this week's @farmersjournal, Pat chats about taking over the family farm at 18, the enjoyment of education as a mature student, and why everyone should have the opportunity to follow their dreams.

I had such a great time participating in an Author Meets Critics panel as part of the celebration of the publication of Elena Cagnoli's Ethics for Rational Animals (OUP) last Saturday at Summerville College, Oxford University. And with such a fantastic company!
