This week

Getting both Mary Kennedy and Anne Cassin in the same room for the cover shoot was the challenge this week. Although they come as a presenting pair on Nationwide, they don’t in fact travel or work much together. If Mary’s in Donegal, Anne could be on Inch beach in Kerry at the same time. So getting together is a bit of a treat for both of them, a mixture of friendly catch up and professional checking in and no better way to celebrate 25 years of the ever-popular Nationwide.
