Gormley and the trendy naturalists should end this natterjack nonsense

RTE’s environment correspondent announced on Monday that the natterjack toad is “unique to Castlemaine” and more than 40 farmers have signed up to save the toad.

The farmers are being paid €500 for the first two shallow ponds that they build in each hectare to facilitate the breeding of natterjacks.

According to one Kerry farmer, there is no money left in sheep farming — so they are going to farm natterjacks?
