"I'm so pleased to be taking part in the Festival in Dungarvan. For a relatively new festival it's causing quite a stir. I'll be giving a demo on Sunday afternoon but intend to make the most of my time in Dungarvan and am looking forward to visiting the farmers market in particular - I believe it is quite a spectacle."
Derry Clarke, L'Ecrivain.  

"I've been to Dungarvan before, cooking at Paul's Cookery School and I'm really delighted to be returning for the Festival. I'll be on stage with two greats; of course local man Paul Flynn and Derry visiting for the weekend like myself. I've had a preview of the programme and it's pretty action packed."
Neven Maguire, MacNean House & Restaurant.

"The festival is almost upon us and we all need a reason to celebrate and have some fun. Business is tough - but we can make a concerted effort to rise above the doom and gloom. I'm so looking forward to the weekend and teaming up with Neven and Derry who are visiting the festival for the first time.... I think they'll be blown away by what's going on in Dungarvan."
Paul Flynn, The Tannery Restaurant & Cookery School.
