No more smiles and tugging the forelock. For example ask them "what are you going to do if I elect you to protect Irish farming". Note their response - they might even think you are intelligent. If they or their party (same difference) fail to deliver do not ever vote for them again. Automatically move onto another candidate/party. Eventually we will get a Government we deserve. It might take generations though to undo the damage.

But Fock this advise of pushing for maximum output per acre to sort a beef price that’s below the price of variable costs never mind fixed costs.

He has huge investment vehicles too which have shown a good return. It's not clear what ABP as an entity is making. Some of those off shore companies opperate as a 'bank' for others. It's a complex web but because he changed counties it has been exposed somwhat. I bet he is going mad over the timing.
