    Dublin based Fyffes is set to merge with chiquitta creating the biggest banana producer in the world with billions in profit.

    This cant be a good thing for Ireland with profits probably routed to avoid tax never mind the ever worsening conditions of the exploited agricultural workers.
    Why will it make any difference to Ireland? We don't grow bananas, and if they're already avoiding tax then this won't change anything.
