Sheep farmer and dog breeder Donie Anderson, Glenasmole, Co Dublin, is a master of the first category. However, the six sheep lolling about, grazing nonchalantly on the other side of the field, were a different matter. Whistled into action by Donie, one sheep broke away and, turning the tables on Jess, was determined to herd the dog, galloping after her across the field. In the ploughing field, the Taoiseach met shire drafts Ned and Ted, close working associates of ploughman Coleman Cogan from Sligo. Now, had man and dog been in charge, it would all surely have been so much calmer.
