There also is a concern about insects. We are also being told to get rid of the cattle and save the foxes. We had a horrible situation last week where a hunt group collected money for the Irish Cancer Society and, lo and behold, that group was told that, because its members were killing foxes, the man in charge of that committee would not take the funds for the poor people that it might help in a palliative care centre. There is example of where the foxes are being put before the people. That is what our little country has come to.
