Padraig and his daughter Tara have been chatting to iRadio in the Afternoon, and he has admitted that going vegan has forced him to be a lot more adventurous.
"I was never adventurous, for God's sake. I was a real traditional person. I loved to have my fry in the morning.
"Then I might go all day without food, and then I'd have my dinner in the evening. And it could be bacon and cabbage, or it could be lamb chops and fried up potatoes, and carrots and parsnips and whatever goes with it.
"And here I am now, doing recipes that I can't even pronounce the words."

Future plans
Padraig is continuing with his day job as a welder, and he also has a small farm.
However, what would he and Tara say to potential TV opportunities if they were to come knocking?
Tara says "100 per cent yes", highlighting how her dad is actually a very talented actor, and has been in loads of plays.
Meanwhile Padraig says "you'd never know. I'll make it to Hollywood yet!"
