Out Now! Pick up the latest edition of Longford Life magazine

Springtime is finally here, and as the year starts to take shape it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the April/May edition of Longford Life - the magazine for Longford people by Longford people. 

We’ve packed this issue full of inspirational stories, business features, columns, fun activity guides, and sweet recipes to lift your spirits and get you in the mood for Easter.

In our culture section, accomplished Longford town based artist Gordon Farrell reveals why history and mythology are recurring themes in his work, while podiatrist Siobhán O’Meara explains how volunteering gave her a huge advantage as she developed her career in our Journey to the Job feature. 

We also hear from Ryan Prunty, the talented chef at the Tavern Steakhouse in Drumlish, who credits his late grandfather Eugene Prunty as the most significant influence on his career. 

We meet road safety advocate Dr Laura Doherty, whose journey reminds us that setbacks can sometimes open new doors. After a life-changing traumatic brain injury, she discovered a renewed sense of purpose and dedicated herself to her creativity, producing work that is as inspiring as it is beautiful. 

And Longford Municipal District Cathaoirleach Uruemu Adejinmi reveals the handbag essentials she never leaves home without in our new segment, In the Bag. 

Whether you’re after inspiration, a little escapism, or simply some great reads to enjoy with a cup of coffee, this issue of Longford Life has it all.
