I think the word Rhododendron needs to be culled. Far too long and weird.

It's known locally as rhodo.

The Govt. scrapped the volunteer programme, whereby people would spend two weeks cutting rhodo during the day (and riding at night by all accounts) which was one of the cheapest and most effective solutions.

I was just thinking of something like that. Sounds a great gig for a few weeks during the summer holidays. Get a load of students and other layabouts under the age of 25 down to Kerry national park for some fresh air, hard physical work and then in the evening letting Mother Nature take her course. (There's nothing coarser than Mother Nature!)

Why don't the Healy-Raes propose that if it was so successful?

Bringing in the Army FFS:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Our Army were always somewhere to drop **** upon, and being bottom of the heap as our Army always was / is, **** flows downhill.
i.e the Dublin bin strike. Didn't see many students / layabouts / neerdowells helping back then, in the national interest, or even their own interest.
I mean, it was their **** and we were dispatched to clean it up for them!
It's also a way of 'demeaning' soldiers (imo)

The Chief of Staff should tell Healy Rae to get stuffed, but being a political appointee, he won't say a word.

The Govt. scrapped it; it went when the recession hit. The difference now is that 2 weeks isn't enough. You'd need a few months of many more people than the 30 -40 volunteers who were helping. KNP is 26,000 acres, which is just a bit less than the area of Dublin City (28k)

I'm sure to revive it and staff it up sufficiently would be cheaper than bringing in the army.The HR's should have a bit of respect for the soldiers. They've already got jobs to do.

There are some serious rhododendrons in certain parts of Ireland ,more like forests, but Healy Rae with his mannerisms has made the issue more comical rather than serious, I read on Joe someone even put up a parody story on Amazon about it, cant remember the name ..a Kerry Mans Tale of something ...cant remember but first a story then a giftgrub segment

I'd suggest goats for clearing large areas of vegetation, but unfortunately rhododendrons are one of the few plants toxic to them

Pigs would root them out. They also make crispy bacon. Win -Win.

1 pint isn't causing loads of accidents.

Accurate statistics - no.

I've been knocked off my bike due to briars growing out. I wasn't really injured but if a car was coming along behind me I would have been 'brown bread'.

Plenty of other crashes caused in rural areas due to ditches being overgrown and visibility reduced.

Not to mention.

Cork East TD Kevin O'Keeffe has said that proposed changes to drink driving laws would lead to more people ending up "in mental institutions".
Minister Ross is proposing to ban first-time offenders caught at the lower limit. Under current legislation, they do not get disqualified and instead get a fine and penalty points.
“You’d have more people inside mental institutions if you enforce this law, Minister,†said Deputy O’Keefe.

These guys are idiots.

He said two or three glasses of Guinness, not three pints.
