Magnificent Machines and Talking Donkeys

When it comes to tractors in Ireland, no one knows more about them than Austin O'Sullivan. He's has studied what they mean to Ireland and he collects them. He started the Agriculture Museum of Ireland and if you're lucky he'll take you on a tour. It's housed in the historic outbuildings of Johnstown Castle near Wexford.

Those tractors put a lot of donkeys out of work. But there is a sanctuary here that looks for those donkeys and takes them in. Hear how thankful they are, and how you can offer a few welcomed hugs to them if you like. 

All that plus A Broad Abroad, in Episode 23 of Erin's Isle.
