Ploughing jaunt won’t fool the farmers

THE sight of Enda Kenny and Pat Rabbitte strolling through the National Ploughing Championships in Mogeely won’t have fooled farmers who could be driven out of business by Fine Gael and Labour’s pals in the Green Party.

It is no coincidence that the Fine Gael and Labour leaders left Green leader Trevor Sargent at home when they headed to Cork. The Greens’ anti-agriculture policies are rejected by farmers throughout the country.

Enda and Pat owe it to the farmers they met to explain what Irish agriculture will be asked to sacrifice in order to bring their desperate coalition with the Greens into power.
