RUN: Annual Dan Paddy Andy run set for August 6th in Lyreacrompane – the 5k/10k run and walk – is now open for registration.
MILK: According to the chair of the Irish Farmers’ Association dairy committee, Stephen Arthur, there is now a “real risk” of family farms going out of business because inflationary trends – particularly in relation to feed and fertiliser – have pushed the cost of producing milk so high.
“Supermarkets cutting the price of milk are not reflecting this – they’re using milk as a lost leader to bring in the consumers but they’re also not cutting the price of convenience food which in some instances has gone up rapidly – look at the price of a loaf of bread today compared to where it was a year ago.
“When consumers buy a litre of milk less than 10% of that may be going to a farmer and the reality is that the supermarket is claiming the biggest margin when it comes to milk price.
“The cost of production for farmers is running at between 37-39c/l. We now have some co-ops who paying farmers below the cost of the production for milk.
COWS: A Fianna Fáil MEP has sounded a note of caution about a proposed scheme to reduce the number of dairy cows in the country by paying farmers to exit the industry.
FARMING to change:
RTE Investigates programme shows how, at some Irish mart sales, animals couldn’t even be given away free and a few of the many thousands were handled, a bit like how the older generation, remembers school. It was filmed by Matt Naughton. Journalists spent over five months investigating the story. The same rough shots were highlighted over and over again.

This figure includes refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced people, and other individuals in need of international protection. The war in Ukraine, which triggered Europe’s largest displacement crisis since World War II, has played a significant role in the rise.

NOISE; How loud is too loud?
Sound is often measured on a scale of decibels, or dB, in which near total silence is zero dB and a firecracker exploding within a meter of the listener is about 140 dB.

If RTE are doing things, we have to presume that their practices are widespread and the only way to root out certain practices, is give them an amnesty for the past, provided they report details to a register. No toleration for the people who offer or receive inducements, without reporting in future.

The ‘Corruption Perception Index’
Much of the comparative evidence about bribery is anecdotal, though Nichols alone can cite numerous instances. In Kazakhstan, several foreign businesses have told Nichols that the typical bribe amount that must be given to win approval of a large construction project is between 15% and 20% of the contract price – which often means that the bribe alone will amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. In Russia, meanwhile, a retail chain manager told Nichols that a bribe of US $4,000 would lower the tariff on a truckload of printer cartridges from U.S. $20,000 to U.S. $4,000.
