- Food Industry. (7 Oct 2009)

Land that was valued some months or years ago as development land is now...

It is something the Green Party would come up with - a proposal to take â¬80 out of every â¬100 earned when a person sells a site in rural Ireland for â¬50,000 or â¬100,000, even though most of these people are selling land because they want to prop up their businesses or farms. If we want to keep rural Ireland alive, and if we have any interest in...
