Diesel has been leaking into the River Liffey from an underground pipe connection near the Samuel Beckett Bridge for over a year.

The leak links to a fuel farm owned by Irish Rail, which is used as diesel storage for fuelling trains at Connolly Station.

Would the insurance claim be for fire damage or water damage 🤔

A combine catches fire in Pakistan.
The solution?

Of course it’s to drive the combine into shallow lake right by the field.

The IQ wars have begun.

Something so satisfying about this.

I also know the power pole king, never seen someone seed around a power pole with more finesse while ordering $1000 worth of fishing lures on his phone.

Collections across the 27 EU member states were up by around 5.6% in December and by about 4.5% in January.

President of the EMB, Kjartan Poulsen said that this surge in milk supply is "far beyond normal market fluctuations".

"We are currently witnessing developments we have never seen before in this form.

"The signals are clear: if no action is taken now, we are heading straight into a milk price collapse,

Varadkar comments not just divisive - they’re plain WRONG

A few hours after Leo Varadkar dropped the mask of ever being a man capable of understanding the Irish economy , a journalist followed it up with another poorly researched claim on the false economics at the heart of his argument :

‘6 per cent of the work force are in farming - they produce 1 per cent of GDP - these are the facts of the argument - isn’t he right ? ‘ was the gist of the defence .

In my opinion both arguments are deeply flawed and economically incorrect .

Speaking on the original podcast, Varadkar claimed that what is "in the interests of farmers in the agriculture industry is by and large not in the interests of Ireland as a nation". This is absolutely incorrect.

He went on to state that farmers "still see themselves as the people who bring money and jobs into Ireland, where actually a lot of the time they bring costs on Ireland - by any fair analysis he’s wrong again here.

Varadkar went on to say also: "People in rural Ireland are very quick to tell people in urban Ireland that ‘we're the real workers, we’re the ones paying all the bills, we’re the ones feeding the country. I think maybe we need to be a little bit more blunt in urban Ireland and say, actually that's not the case, we’re the ones paying all the bills and you’re the ones in receipt of a lot of subsidies and a lot of tax benefits that other people don’t get” he concluded

But of course he’s plain WRONG when he says that and I intend to prove it to you in this special podcast and video log :

First piece of advice for Leo. Stick to the facts and don’t generalise -
There are 133,000 farmers and 70, 000 full time Farmers in this country who list farming as their sole employment
The rest are Part time with off farm income mostly in Beef & Sheep - and every cent of their output is recorded .

When I researched that output I realised it was the only way to respond properly to the former Taoiseach - not with guff and personal commentary about his background or his politics or that of his party Fine Gael but - the REAL facts about farmer’s output - which does in fact pay the bills !

Here’s the full video response with the stats backed by the Central Statistics Office - let me know what you think ?

@DarraghScott Exactly, what he's saying makes no sense whatsoever. Could be said about nurses, teachers, etc. Of course the interviewer hadn't the wherewithal to pull him up on the moronic statement

[RightTurnClyde 🐄 #proudtofarm @maxxuumman]

They get elected not because of their ability but rather because of lack of choice and also their empty promises ( abolish USC, reduce tax burden, we'll listen, etc). They use the fruits of our hard work for their egos and to secure their next role. But enough is enough.

[RightTurnClyde 🐄 #proudtofarm @maxxuumman]

In'10 we were asked to put our shoulder to the wheel to pay for the mismanagement of the previous 5yrs. After '20 rather than ease off that pain they used the returns from that hard work, not to pay down debt but to squander it both here and abroad. That was a betrayal of trust.

[RightTurnClyde 🐄 #proudtofarm @maxxuumman]

People have had enough. This is not a country to live in. It's not a country to encourage children to stay in. It's just a country to live to slave in and then be insulted and not listened to by those who we elect. They've turned ireland into a business park.

100%. People thought there'd be major charge, that the Greens were the tail wagging the dog.

[Ben Scallan 🇮🇪 @Ben_Scallan]

Irish voters believed Eamon Ryan and the Green Party were responsible for many policies that they hate, e.g. carbon tax, ultra wokeness, etc. The public were under the impression that FFG were basically sensible and competent at their core, and were simply being forced to make concessions to radical environmentalists against their better judgement for the sake of holding the coalition together.

So the voters destroyed the Green Party and reduced their Dáil share from 12 seats to 1, but kept FFG around, assuming they'd get a steady hand of the old parties unencumbered by window box salads and wolves.

And yet now the Greens are gone, but the policies people hate remained.

It's almost like the Green Party weren't actually the primary culprit, and were only a convenient mudguard for the bigger parties, who are actually the primary defenders of this stuff.

@LeoForde He was always only a shadow of a man compared to his father.
We'll see what he has to say when people can't either afford or get their hands on food next spring. Europe is on a knife edge to that situation
Zero economic dept to anything he says

Completely out of touch with the people

[ConceptDairy™ @ConceptDairy]

We're pretty worried how this is panning out. Dairy markets are weakening more while costs keep skyrocketing .
Butter dropped €8 to €410.
WMP stable at €330.
SMP down €2 to €270.

Perfect storm in the making. Who’s properly hedged… and who’s not?
