Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6One wonders what the purpose of this copy? The author day in the life of a left-over republican at a trade fair drivel is so banal its hardly worth the paper it's written on.
Yes the there was tents and political parties occupied them for various reasons and yes there was machinery just like last year and the year before that. So what? Where's the story?
There is room for analysis on the writer’s reaction to the political parties. This would be much better served by an oliogist of some sort.
I think I would have rather see some photos from the Ploughing Champ or an analysis of the need for or anything that what has been served up here.
Would it not have been easier to say I hate FF FG & LAB for different reasons but most of all I hate SF because the party made a decision that I didn’t agree with?
William Thompson (d. 1833) established a utopian communal farm project at Ralahine in the County Cork, but it foundered after his death. Here's a link to that: www.utopia-britannica.org.uk/pages/IRELAND.htm
Dunno if present day anarchists/trotties/repubs/mao fans are interested in the land as a centre for nationwide radicalism though. Ploughing and harvesting need skill and lots of sweat. Many farmers' children seek out the comforts of suburbia.
Seriously - why is it every time somebody comes over to Indymedia and delivers a succinct comment on something that is not ragingly political you get these illiterates, who couldn't identify a coherent sentence in an Anne and Frank book, pissing on them?
The Ploughing Match is a massive social occasion for huge swathes of the population of this country, and I say big up to some one who sees fit to bring coverage of it to our free media.
I enjoyed this piece despite its brevity, and I know many other Indymedia heads aren't too far from the ploughing match themselves in terms of background. I look forward to a report on day two and three and I sincerely hope the author of the piece had someone to hook him up with some free food tokens.
Was Richey Kavanagh waving his wellies around at it this year? What was the sex trade in Tullamore like for the weekend? At the World Ploughing event in Carlow a few years ago apparently it was astronomically, gritty tales of queues outside caravans on the Barrow track abound. What fire works are on sale this year and has there been any drug busts in the run in?
Rural Ireland and its festivities need as much attention as any other sector.
What has the colour of a persons skin got to do with an annual ploughing championship? which is obviously their to promote agricultural practices in Ireland.
Seriously, if you have nothing positive to contribute, why bother entering the thread at all
the piece this man wrote on the ploughing championship was interesting.
i like the fact that it was so observational of the smaller things.
It seems petty to attack him firstly for writing the piece and secondly for commenting on the fact that the event is still ethnically homogenous.
Its something that would cross my mind too - he's making an observation not a judgement.
He's documenting the fact that although Ireland has seen a big change in multi culturalism within alot of its spheres, agriculture is not one of them.
?
You will have to go to Zimbabwe if you want to see total ethnic purity in agriculture. Not a lot of actual farming going on any more though. What were once productive farms now lie derelict. I wonder why.
