NOW the whole country badly missed our vibrant hospitality sector and as a nation, we have embraced the return of pubs and restaurants with open arms.

No more so than the hunting fratnerity as this hilarious photo, captured by Noel Mullins, hunting correspondent with The Irish Field, shows.

So glad were the loyal followers of the North Galway Foxhounds to be back in Canavan’s Bar that huntsman David Masterson had to employ his trusty horn to effectively call them all out for the meet.

Good man, David, that got them all moving!
