Robinstown,once possessed of a thriving Post Office,General Grocery and petrol pumps and a popular public House has neither Post Office,Grocery nor Public House at the moment nor for some time. To be entirely accurate there is a sign up that the grocery store site saying it will soon reopen.
Any student of my blog will not be surprised that such an appalling vista has befallen such a relatively wealthy and picturesque former village ,now hamlet.
I have constantly preached that the austerity policies imposed via the present Government and the horrific over regulation of business will reduce rural Ireland to tumble weed status.
It is ironic that a hamlet that so overwhelmingly endorsed Fine Gael in the last election should suffer so.Their activists have much to answer for now.
This is the first of many villages in rural Ireland that will be wiped out commercially.
Where now all those quasi Blue shirts who were so prominent in campaigning for rural Ireland before the election ?
