The Farmers head East.-Sinn Fein moves South.

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Sunday August 29, 2004 02:56author by john mcdermott - R.F.F.P.author address Leinster House Report this post to the editors

Milking the people or the cattle?

Farming syndicates of property speculators are reported to be moving their money offshore.If Sinn fein are elected there is real concern that they will be dispossed if they retain their wealth here.

Good and bad news.
Nice to see property section reports in the daily papers of our poor farmers buying up those office blocks in Prague and Warsaw,which Liam Lawlor does not already own.
It’s fulfilling a civic duty-investing the proceeds of their Brussels sourced C.A.P. funds in the new-entrant countries,rather than Ireland.
Maybe the milk ,at least ,will be cheaper here….some day.
Hopefully Polish farmers will one day be able to reciprocate,and buy a few one- off rural office blocks,with secure long lease tenants in Cahirciveen or Castlebar …when Martin ‘Cu’Cullen has finished building his Roman Road Empire on the ruins of bygone conquistadors.
The bad news is that pending the hoped for self destruction of Bertie’s P.D ‘minders’;-the I.R.A.are dissolving themselves and Gerry Adams and Co. are dusting off their C.V.s as potential coalitionists
‘ Kiss and make up,Gerry and Bertie.!’? ‘Car-with- the- Star’aspirants and partners with fraternal Mafiosi amigos,- the other ‘Republican Party’, whose present marriage has gone cold?…In politics, anything is possible.

An alternative cobbled together coalition of Greens, Pat Rabbite,and Big Farmers,also has an air of unreality to it. Pity the long suffering ,common people.
