Many of us picked up new hobbies while spending more time at home, and then there are some of those who took this new hobby to the next level.

Someone who has done just that is TY student Tadhg O'Brien, and he joined Mairead to chat to her about the business he has started from his lockdown hobby.

Tadhg told Mairead about how he got in to woodworking, and how he developed a business making hand-crafted scriptorium pens using these new skills.

He beat 5,000 entries to win the Foróige Youth Entrepreneur Competition with his Monasterboice Scriptorium Pens, and now Tadhg will be representing Ireland in the European Youth Entrepreneur competition later this year.
