Fiachra and Mary have four children, Caitlin, Edward, Aidan, and Matthew. They live on the Liston family farm in Croom, Co Limerick with Fiachra’s parents. The third-generation farm is a team operation and Fiachra’s father is still very active in the farming process. Fiachra was involved in farming all his life. He studied dairy management and agricultural engineering in England and farmed in Texas, North Dakota, and Arizona. Dairy farming is one of the main industries locally in Croom and is both a big employer and network in the area. In their free time, Fiachra is involved in stage drama, Limerick’s pilgrimage to Lourdes and is chairman of the Greybridge Classic Club, a charity club that raise money for local causes through vintage tractor runs. The Liston family farm won the Zurich Farm Safety Award last November, an annual award given to a farm that displays a spectacular level of excellence in farm safety. The whole family are involved in the upkeep of the farm to maintain the high standards they are renowned for.
