At Billy O’Regan’s farm in Gunpoint, Schull were Adam Whelton and Rorie McCarthy who were among a group of people planting sunflower seeds last weekend for Ukraine on a half acre which Billy and Denise have dedicated to show solidarity with those who have fled the war. When the sunflowers are ready for harvesting in mid-August, the site will be opened to the public once again – over a Saturday and a Sunday – so that people can come and pick their own sunflower.
