We are back to the old landlord days where people can amass up to 15,000 acres of land with no small farmer and no community. No football or hurling team will be fielded. No schools will be filled because they will be locked up and fenced as if it was in Nazi Germany; a snipe would not get through the fences. There are rich pickings there but the Government refused to touch it.
