Jesus thatās cringe. This deal was always going through, there are bigger things at play than Irish farming. A few of these fellas made hay off the back of the notion that weād somehow block this.
Itās time to switch focus now to the the questionā¦ has Ireland any future in beef farming? If it has it wonāt be based on the intensive feed lots model.

Very sad, something we are absolutely world-class at compromised because some frogs and Germans want to sell some more of their stupid cars.

The EEC was amazing for usā¦ The current EU - not so sure. The past benefits doesnāt mean we have to blindly remain welded to the EU. We can adjust our relationship or leave the bloc but remain part of the trading arena like norway (EEA) or something similar. The EU quickly becoming a corporate capitalist blocā¦ the Canadian trade deal, that allows corporate interests trump state authority, showed thisā¦ howrver, because we have rendered ourselves completely dependent on a few US multinationals we may have no option but to continue destroying all fabric of irish life for corporate interests. Corporates dictate our housing, jobs and now what we eat - not to mind what information we consumeā¦ power is slipping away from the electorate. Within a generation weāll completely be at the disposal of corporate interests
