I captured this masterclass of a vanishing Ireland, yesterday :)
The machinery falls silent, and the old man steps out to save the hay by hand. keeping the old ways alive a little longer, not because anyone was looking, just because it reminded him of simpler times.

@Nic21121970 Most don't know the cars Tánaiste & Taoiseach travel in are factory armoured Audi A6 & Lexus LS500h saloons. Disguised as standard luxury cars for maximum discretion, they feature ballistic steel plating, bulletproof glass, upgraded suspension, and run-flat tyre systems
@thejournal_ie While one specialised programme helped 478 people last year, nearly 674,000 are still waiting months, often over a year, just to see a consultant. Over a million on hospital lists total, and demand keeps climbing. Progress for a few doesn’t erase the growing backlog.
@SarahConnorIE@Nic21121970 Millions of euro of our money for their protection and we'll have to hope for the best as they continue to bring the dirt from around the world into our country and refuse to answer to the electorate. They might as well enjoy it while they can.
@SarahConnorIE@Nic21121970 Nearly there alright Erin.
The only infrastructure they are building is the security infrastructure around their own homes. 24 hour home detail, the expansion of body guards. Armoured personal transport fleet. That's where we are.
@Nic21121970 In the next 3 years as a member of the taxpaying public you won't get within 5 feet of a TD as tensions rise due to this authoritarian regime that's now in full swing. They'll reign and dictate living through media.
@Nic21121970 The "Tented" tradition, Party tents at events like the Tullamore Show serve as informal town halls where any citizen can walk up and speak directly to a minister or the Taoiseach. Not anymore.
@keira_con If you still look around and see optimism in this corrupt system and have 'expectation' that people will act accordingly to expectation, well..more power to you Kiera, enjoy your day.
@keira_con Well you should be concerned considering that our own are putting us to the bottom of the que, what do you think is going to happened when this lot don't need the support from these left wingers. A very nieve outlook you have there. Just take a look around.
@keira_con She is illegal, corrupt,ambitious and recruiting from her own Nigerian stock in broad daylight with the support of the labour party and NGOs
@RadfemBeat This is men showing up for women. This isn't the 'farce' the farce is what we are expected to except from mentally ill individuals and their supporters
