There are many in the EU and Ireland discussing whether the clocks should be changed as they are today by an hour, thus creating what we call “summer time”. Some are saying the clocks should not be changed.
Has anyone thought of the beef and average dairy farmer who will soon be forced to have another job to earn the income necessary to rear a family due to the anti-rural-Ireland policies of our Government, added to by Brexit and the excuse of climate change.

These farmers will need as many daylight hours as possible when they get home from their job in the evening to carry out their farm work.
For this reason, I believe we should keep the “summer time” system in order to help keep these farmers on the land, producing our food industry’s raw material with an income which will allow them to rear a family under today’s inflated costs.
Remember our agribusiness has brought us out of our economic crisis with its returns to the country but not to the farmer producer.
