While most 28 year olds thinking about getting their very own car, Aoife Burke from Co. Clare has always dreamed of her own barge!

She is one of Ireland's youngest barge owners having recently bought one at auction. Her love of barges goes back to her childhood as boating has always been in her family. RTÉ's Colm Flynn recently went to meet her.
