I heard Intel were going to build their factory in Crossmaglen instead of Leixlip, what with it being conveniently in the middle of nowhere, but changed their minds because of the state of the ditches all broken up.

In a community that relies hugely on farming, breaking down fences and ditches and tramping from farm to farm spreads diseases such as TB and foot and mouth, which destroyed people's livelihoods. But hey, you go right ahead making uninformed, snide remarks because you think they make you sound cool and aloof.

Leftist wrote: » hey I'm agreeing with you? especially on the foot and mouth stuff. Fwiw, the feckers probably set out in the middle of the night and traipsed all over ditches and fences around the whole island. Because it seemed to effect the south too. Dirty chancers. Perhaps they took it over from england where they trained in foot & mouth infested kill factories and they purposely brought it over to South armagh where it thus spread all over the land? I heard they were awful feckers like that.
