We have a proud tradition of farming here in Ireland but along with that comes another essential part of the equation of getting the finest cuts to our dinner tables - butchers.

The landscape has been transformed in recent decades with the large supermarkets taking a big piece of the pie but we still have incredible artisanal butchers serving our communities up and down the country.

Joining Bobby to chat about it all is:
