the farmers are in crisis after there sheep are left to die on the hill,s in the bad weather.

should the farmers get bailed out by the goverment or like any other buissness be left to fend for themselves.

I see earlier the army was dropping food by helicopter to the worst hit places,i dont think the government can stand by and watch thousands of animals die when its in there power to help regardless of cost,it will only be a short term problem that left will do long term damage to an already hard pushed industry.Better our money spent on our people in times of trouble...

some of the farmers have lost there whole stock your talking 2 to 3 hundred each .so it,s going to take some help to get thing,s back to normal.

The biggest business in Ireland is based around agriculture, And the goverments both north and south

 

Cannot stand by, and just watch the businesses go down the pan, tens of thousands, of jobs depends

on agriculture, from the fruit and veg sector to meats, and the processing,

 

 

So assistance is vital.

 

 

Snap.
