Rip Off Ireland is alive and kicking

Long before Eddie hobbs started with his shows we were all well aware of rip off ireland and the effects our politicians were having on our pockets

The Great thing about Ireland is that what ever party is elected in to government they will dictate to the people .. take for example The Nice Treaty  as an electorate we did not go for it so our Govt decided they would give us a second chance .. having gone through the Divorce and abortion referendums over and over again it is only natural a Govt like the Irish one would use public funding to get it’s desired result (not always guaranteed as in the abortion debate )

 so all I can add is Thumbs up for Democracy .. long lost in the land of saints and scholars

 

GM FREE IRELAND

The EU have led the way with the approval of GM feeds to be used to feed animals but is that any reason why we in Ireland should have to accept this

GM-FREEIRELAND is a site to fight against this

seeing as how if food stuffs are imported in to Ireland and say the packaging is changed then they will automatically be irish produce .. is this really fair .. maybe some thing to say on the door step at election time .
