This town literally punches above it’s weight. Alison first meets one of boxing’s brightest rising stars, Carlagh Peake. This world beater is so unassuming and humble about her incredible achievements. Then we meet some inspiring pupils at Ballyhaunis Community School where the motto is “Unity In Diversity”  Then on to the Ballyhaunis Language Café a great example of a positive and practical integration initiative. Our final destination is the Ballyhaunis Mosque, a symbol of the town's commitment to religious freedom and interfaith harmony.  Ballyhaunis stands as a testament to the power of inclusivity, where over 40 nationalities come together to create a vibrant tapestry of cultures.

Join Today FM's Alison Curtis as she travels around Ireland to uncover the diverse, interesting and unique voices that make up Ireland today and discover the heart and soul of rural Ireland.
