Do farmers really think, that by voting FF, FG,The Greens, Sinn Fein, or any of the so called "opposition", that they won't have to abide by the dictats of the EU? We need to vote for alternative parties now, if we want to have ANY chance of avoiding EU directives.
The Irish Freedom Party. The National Party. Independent Ireland. Ireland First.

Word of warning, if one or several farmers decide to go down the road of rewetting, without doubt this can only affect the neighbours land who decides he’s not interested in rewetting but wants to continue doing what he has always done. The condition of neighbouring farm land and waterways definitely will have a detrimental effect locally. Farmers should resist this EU directive across the board.

There's loads of wetlands around the world. Re wetting is purely to lower dry land area, affecting food the quantity of production, the few including their hidden think tanks have no right to demand land and affect prices.
Do not sell land and don't fall for turbines solar farms until you know that they're land fill at the end of their life and that land is out of production for twenty five years.
Nuclear produces the same year on year, solar decreases year on year and with what they're doing to the sky makes a mockery of solar.
Most of the world is water.
