    more to that than meets the eye i think

    we are all not butchers with 2 shops...........i doubt the councils would be able to get the average farmer to jump through them hoops

    fair play to him for keeping going

    what has the 2 shops got to do with it,

    Every young farmers dream?

    When I close my eyes and my brain wanders off to dairy matters overseas, it's the 350 acres of high performance pasture that's feeding the cows not 23 tractors but that's just me.

    yep

    the full story wasn't televised

    let's say the cc only acted as such because they were made to.


    That's one thing I've learnt.....you never get the full story.
    Ethically the CC rep couldn't discuss individual cases

    Sure it was the same a few weeks ago about the Richard Weldon, the lad that invented that stick thing. It was more than the accident that stopped them growing parsnips.

    So if it was a man it would be ok? Look I dont know the full story in this case. If they did get the volume of complaints they were talking about it has to be acted on. I am in no way a fan of the county council. There seems to be alot more to it

    What I don't get is how the oul one who was on the council can actually be happy bringing the poor oul farmer to court going about making a days wage for himself and saying the community and farmers are happy now since dispute has been resolved over a smell which fades away soon after.Yet if we brought her to court on the smell of her septic thank she wouldn't be half as quick to be judgemental ! just remember you need the horse before the cart! ;)

    Exactly to be honest it just shows all the Farmers in Ireland how the county councils are just a pack of C*nts who should stick to breastfeeding their shovels :)

    When Darragh tried tubing a Cow and squirted half it onto the udder? Had a good laugh at that.

    If they brought him to court it was because he wouldn't comply for at least six mths, Most councils give time to tidy up your act before referring you on, unless in the case of a fish kill.
    I think he admitted or Darragh said that he didn't do what he was told at the start

    I think that's because the initial requirement from the council was for him to install some fancy air purifying gadget above the diet feeder, which would probably cost an eye-watering amount of reddies, that in he end was not required. No doubt some council genius must've just googled "how to get rid of smell from diet feeder".

    That said, if you take away those big new sheds and concrete yard looked fairly fresh also, then maybe the yard looked a bit different when those complaints went in.

    Not sure what part of wexford you're in but the new Ross district council are a revelation in getting work done.
    It was the best day ever when they took over here. They know how to get the work done.

    My aunt is neighbours with them. He joined up with Lenard's. Tough set up and the cows have to walk a mile morning and evening to graze daraghs bit of ground. I think he added in 50-60 replacements bringing it up to around 400 cows but he does none of the work. I think his a serious spoofer and his head is so far up his own àrse if he stuck a toothbrush down his throat he could brush his teeth.

    I think he is more of a silent partner. He has a good broadcasting job
    He is probably bringing in more money than my place and yours combined!
    So I say far play to him he has a better business head than most!
