Have to say I’m livid over this response!!

It’s easy to see where the blue shirt government will look to reduce the countries carbon issues.

What a poorly thought out answer smearing one of the countries largest industries, employers and exports sector.

I wouldnt plan on it. Unless you could provide bags no more than a few kgs of chips to them. A lot of them just use bought in chips

In fairness, does anybody outside the M50 take much notice of what they say about anything?


There's local and European elections this year so the result of those are definitely going to impact on any decision being made.

With more than half the population on the catchment area you described its enough.

It’s not the right position for a government leader to be taking to specially identify an industry as a target for people to use for carbon emissions reduction.

I thought there was already a carbon tax on coal, etc?
I know hardware/fuel supply type places near the border keep very little on the premises.
You can pay in the South, and pick it up across the border from an "auxillary" yard, or have it delivered.
(No carbon tax in the North)

Would you blame the fool for coming out with a statement like that when he's bombarded by vegan propaganda on the way to work, in the gym, on the radio, online, and the hip young rebellious folk and most likely his personal trainer?

We really are an impressionable little nation ready to turn turncoat for whereever the easiest money comes from. All clouded over by a "protect the planet" message.

Meanwhile in Canada which Leo is supposed to be looking towards as a leader in active climate sustainability.

Call me paranoid but that would never be investigated or implemented here as seemingly the vegan billionaire club have got their tentacles on our Taoiseach now.

Bring back Phil Hogan!!

Sadly lots will go out & vote for the person down the road or the party their ancestors supported

Brexit & Trump won cos people were sick of the status quo & wanted to give a scare

We need to do something to show we’re not happy, maybe like Brewster with None of the above

Leo is a smug D4 type who has little experience of the real world. All soundbytes and virtue signalling. If he actually had some insight into the issue he would instruct semi-states like BNM and Coillte to restore natural habitats like bogs and native woodland which would be far more usefull in terms of the Carbon issue etc. instead of attacking struggling suckler farmers or causing energy poverty via carbon taxes etc.

Sounds like a great project and we need to see more CAP funds go to such things instead of subsidizing the profits of Larry et al

I've had the 'pleasure' of vegans on various social media going on about babies being seperated from their mothers for over a decade

My answer is blunt,if you're that fúckin purist,go suck on your mother's boobs and see what she says

Yer one SHiggins was on Tipp FM being interviewed and withering on about babies(calves) being taken away from their mothers at birth. When the interviewer pointed out this does not happen to all cattle she then proceded to go on a rant that this was even worse as they were older and could understand more what was happening and then compared it to the human family relationships etc

Has she any idea whatsoever about wild bovines or herd behaviour where the cows chase calves when weaned and young bulls are driven out by their da's. With his daughters being inseminated without regard for any human niceties.


For a psychologist she engages in pure projection about animals and comparing them directly to humans. Pure ****ing bull****

Wonder whats the price comparison to plain old boring normal milk not from chickens

I go to slimming World, up until Christmas we were allowed a litre of the alpro soya milk a day or 330 mls of the pink low fat milk. Now it's 330mls of soya milk due to the sweeteners etc in it and extra of the pink milk

It just shows how far the "dietician experts" really went up their own hole.

I've had that conversation with extended family members bemoaning the use of whole milk on the farm here when the advice they got was to use low fat and even limit it.
The funny thing is anyone on the whole milk here are as thin as a bean with strength to go with it and living past their 80's and the one's giving the advice to go low fat are fairly plump and breathless.

You won't find state registered dieticians recommending crap like that..

your into the realm of the folk who have at best completed a 10 hour "nutrition" course and don't know their arse from their elbow.

its a "soy based drink", no such thing as soy milk exists.

I wouldn't classify that as "Journalism" per say, just an opinion piece cobbled together to sell to an Editor.

I'm with them two years now and no complaints.

I imagine like all insurance companies, you're fully covered until you have to make a claim. Just be sure you're happy with the level of cover you have on buildings, I forget now the valuation figure per foot they put on buildings and slats to be fully covered.

Was just searching the price of a jfc meal bin there, I see meal bin/silos have been added to tams for anyone that might be interested. Unfortunately doesn't cover my wee 750kg meal bin.

tanko

How much is a JFC bin now??

MeTheMan

Around the 350. More then I thought.
Looking at the idea of one now because we must have about 1000 meal bags around the place. Not many places selling bulk of the feed we use around use though.

I keep a few keep purebred simmentals and normally cross to them to a CH.

However I have one bull weanling of KEZ (sim bull) out of one of my pure bred sim cows.

Would he be worth possible more as a pure bred non reg bull to someone in a private sale possibly?

Or would I be a well running him through the weanling ring as normal ?

Stick him up on dd and you'd never know.

Lady Haywire

Could try both, advertise him & his breeding on DD and say he'll be sold at X mart on such a date. If it only brings two bidders that fancy him it'll be worth the ad price.

Has anyone seen a new conor megamix 6000 gearbox lying in any shop lately? Tooth broke on a gear today. Conor cant supply the gearbox until 1st week of February. The gear is a third of the price of a new gearbox so if a new gearbox can be found, it'll be put in.

It'll be a 3rd party 90 degree gearbox with most likely Waltherscheid or bandioli paveisi, you should find a stamp or plate on the casing of the gearbox if you can strip it out as you'll need to know the input-output ratio.
