    Ah, the National Ploughing Association. Another one of those great Irish 'Voluntary' organisations.

    Previous accounts of the association show managing director Anna May McHugh was paid €126,000 in 2010.
    Her daughter was paid a salary of €63,000 during the same year.

    I was told recently about a woman running a "charitable" organisation. Again great for the old tax side of things. Allot of farms could nearly come under that heading

    Think charities make a profit unlike farming.

    Not a voluntary or charitable organisation AFAIK but a private limited company which Anna May owns and controls.
