This week’s episode was recorded live at the National Ploughing Championships where Sarah McIntosh and Martin Merrick sat down with dating enthusiast Doireann O’Connor and her dad Charley.
“If it’s not blue it won’t do”, according to Doireann O’Connor, the social media star who has over 56,000 followers on Instagram and 46,000 followers on Tiktok.
Live from the Irish Farmers Journal stand at this year’s Ploughing, Doireann and her dad Charley talk about farming, fame and family life in Ballyroan, Co Laois.
Doireann discusses her journey from teaching to singing in a wedding band and why she decided to take a leap of faith into media after travelling around the world,
“I had always been working around media, but I was too afraid to jump into it; I was afraid of failing. When I came home, I said I had nothing to lose, throw everything at it and see what happens. I had a new mindset, I didn’t really care what people thought anymore,” she explains.
When talking about dating in rural Ireland and where to meet people Doireann advises that you just need to put yourself out there.
“People just need to talk to people more in real life,” says Doireann.
