No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

Agree, often think articles like that do little to further equality.

I personally find it insulting and degrading. The rest of us proceeded on our own merits and used our initiative to work around challenges especially where our lack of physical strength was an impediment. The article also stated that they wanted the option to join women only groups - isn't that what the ICA is for.

It's at the submission stage, to recognise the work done on farms by wives or daughters.

"CSO figures show that up to a quarter of the work done on farms is done in part or fully by women. However, she said female farm ownership and partnership figures do not reflect this" Hannah Quinn-Mulligan.

The days of egg money for farm wives is dead.

"The aim of the group is to ensure that women across rural Ireland receive the recognition for the work they do on farms and that young women feel they have prospects inside the farm gate they call home" Hannah Quinn-Mulligan

Farm Wives seeking recognised partnerships.

A proper marriage should be able to sort a farm partnership in the home

That doesn't put the land into a partnership. I see lots of folios with the house in both names, but land is in one name only.

Everything in my name here. Just a formality. She has her own job, no mortgage, no rent.

It’s not discrimination or sexist if it’s a positive action towards a minority group in an area.

we had it at school where engineering firms get an allowance if €2000 pa to give young women apprenticeships.

my brother works for a tech company- of 100 students in his course- 95 were men but the company wanted to hire 50% women meaning that no matter how bad they were, they would get a job.

"The tax reliefs do not apply to leases to a blood relative (wife/son/­daughter/sibling) but are applicable on leases to a niece or nephew"

I think you've just confirmed my post that some women are paranoid about this, firstly the county chairman was an idiot for doing that, but it didn't mean that IFA were like that. For you to be going on about it is equally wrong, You have already highlighted this incident on here a few times.

This reminds me of a a couple years ago a friend reprimanded me for saying she looked fit, not only that but she even brought it up the next time we were all having a meal with friends together as if I was some sexual deviant. During this summer a woman told me that I looked very fit and it reminded me of the incident..... should I feeel offended.

Some women are so far up their own !!!!!!! that they make their own inequality

Fuel prices are gone mad 1.72 cpl for unleaded and 1.62 for diesel at local shop

Anyone watching the Skidoo suckler sale in Carnaross mart. I've only watched the last 6 or 7 lots and the prices seem more realistic than some of the other recent sales for similar type stock.

I was watching it, serious looking bull. The young stock made good money.

She was cheap if a bbx 22mth heifer is making 7100e in Elphin!

Have some year & half old heifers we’re going to bull next month

Which would be better Oats or Barley for them?

Thanks

They’re just been housed and silage wouldn’t be great, I wanted to supplement as I’m told a rising plane of nutrition gives better conception rates
