Jump To Comment: 1 2 3John Bruton a traditional strong farmer type.
sleeves rolled up out in the field lsitenting to his neighbours chickens squak.
Mr O´Toole the neighbour owns Ireland´s largest battery chicken compound.
The nature of Meath farming is most different from the West. As an anarchist I would suggest vert different solutions for the problems of Meath.
I can also inform friends that one of Mr O´Toole´s eggs was thrown by Mr O´asif at the incoming cavalcade of Aparthied President of South Africa (the one after botha-forget the name now long time ago).
It scored a direct hit.
I can also tell readers that the same man weas hit squarely on the head by a young hippy anarchist (whose name i now forget) when he got to governemnt buildings later that day.
That egg had been bought from a 711 store.
Mr O´Toole the egg farmer is a direct descendent from Peig Sawyers.
just shows how Irish farmers change over the years.
o as if = iosaf (please do not forget anything)
(someday accurate memory helps)
An interesting way of spelling craic!
Socialist Party Press Statement
8th January 2003
Ardagh's Attempt to Drive Wedge Between Small Farmers and Working Class Communities is Despicable and Hypocritical
Joe Higgins TD, Socialist Party
All Sections of Community Have The Right to Protest in Capital
THE ATTACK by Fianna Fáil T.D. Sean Ardagh on RTE's News at One on the farmers' protest is a cynical attempt to take attention off his Government's programme of cuts and extra charges which hit both rural communities and working class communities. It is despicable and hypocritical for a senior Government Deputy to attempt to drive a wedge between urban and rural dwellers. The fact is that many in the small farming communities have as difficult a time in making ends meet as working people in the cities and towns.
As T.D. for The Socialist Party representing both working people and unemployed people, I condemn Mr. Ardagh's cynical posturing and call on both urban and rural communities to stand together in opposition to cynical attempts to divide them.
Over the last 20 years, the driving by economic means of thousands of people off the land has had a very detrimental effect on Dublin and other large urban areas as the population moved in an unplanned way toward these areas. That and the chronic history of planning have left us with the appalling problems which every resident of Dublin is well aware. It is in the interest of all ordinary people in this state that the small farming community is able to make a decent living on the land and assisted in providing fresh, wholesome food with markets close to the place of production.
Small farmers are the backbone of the present protest. They have an absolute right to bring their case to the capital city in peaceful protest as much as any other sector.
