Ep 26: The O'Learys - Talkin' 'bout 3 generations

In this episode, we chat to three generations of vets - the O’Leary family. The Vet Pod heads to Cahersiveen, at the very edge of Kerry, to sit down with the one-of-a-kind Frank O’Leary and hear his reflections on how veterinary life has evolved over the years. We also catch up with his daughter-in-law, who shares heartfelt stories about her late husband, the remarkable Mike O’Leary, and her own journey of becoming a vet and part of the family. Finally, we speak with the next generation, Mark O’Leary, about why he chose to carry on the proud veterinary tradition of his parents and grandfather.

Ep 15: TB or not TB? – Measures to curb the spread

In this episode we discuss the hot topic of bovine TB, following the new TB proposals. We take a look at these proposals and discuss their possible implications for the future if they're adopted.

We also meet three vets who are grappling with bovine TB. Professor James Wood, from Cambridge explains how our understanding has changed in the last 10 years; Sarah Tomlinson who has worked with the UKs TB Advisory Service explains how private practitioners and their farmers can work together to reduce the risks on each individual farm and Clare man Brendan Griffin enthusiastically describes the Pembrokeshire project. Damien Barrett from the Department discusses how we can apply some of these messages in an Irish context and emphasizes the need for change in our approach to tackling TB.

We have also included our new segment in this episode “What’s happening out and about?”, keeping you up to date with the latest in what’s going on with vets all around the country.

Members of the veterinary industry encounter unique challenges and pressures, often daily, and the emotional impact of these demands can be substantial. Highlighting the importance of well-being for all those involved in the veterinary community and developing solutions to address mental health challenges is essential to provide support and ensure a sustainable working environment for those who provide vital care to our animals. 

Natasha Mitchell spoke with Colette Kealy and James Glass, two Irish vets who have a strong interest and expertise in mental health, to discuss the growing mental health crisis in the industry, their experiences and how we can help ourselves and those around us to acknowledge problems and get the supports that they need.
