The Ryans Trevallion.

Around Upperchurch near Thurles there are many Ryans.They have distuinguishing nicknames to differentiate between the differing families.For example there might be the Ryans Stephens to denote a family that had a Stephens come aboard in marriage,The funniest nickname I have heard is the Ryans standidle to indicate that branch of a family whose ancestors have a long tradition of working on the roads for the Council. 

This naming pattern is not confined to Ireland.My father was Welsh.I too was born there on which subject one of the Bushes who presided over wars that resulted in the slaughter of perhaps millions of mid East civilians asked Charlotte Church which State Wales was in. Anyhow on holiday to Blanenerch near Cardigan many decades ago to visit my Welsh ancestors I was introduced to a local man called Dai Bach and made the mistake of telling him I worked at Revenue.He instantly named mre Dai the Revenue.

 I am a rural resident in Ireland.I have a small farm ,the working of which is subsidised by non farm income.There are many other small rural farmers at dry stock and suckler and sheep farming.As to why we do it the best reason I can come up with is that we have a folk memory of the famine and never wish to be hungry again. Neither any of the Government leaders have the remotest knowledge of what it is like to try and manage a small farm and avoid mental distress.How would they.There are no cattle or sheep in Turners Cross,Castleknock nor in r Clontarf.Neither Michael Martin.,lEO vARADAKAR NOR THE LEADER OF THE gREENS ,THE VILE Eamonn Ryan have the remotest idea of what it is like to sneered at constantly for farming nor the be denied financial support to keep things going.

 The Banks and Credit unions are ageist money grabbers more interested in ensuring the Revenue debt is paid and Accountants fees are accummulated and paid than in helping their customers survive.Both they and the Government are fiddling while Rome burns.

 Long before the Russians invaded Ukraine the vile Green agenda actively pursued and hunted down rural dwellers and farmers in particular by shaming them at every opportunity ,by increasing the price of fuel beyond what cash strapped farmers and dwellers can afford,by trebling at least the cost of fertiliser ,which is essential for food and fodder production. They are bent on causing another famine in this country and are hated with a passiom in rural Ireland.

 Without hesitation I have no hesitation in Calling Eamon Ryan a member of the Ryans Trevallion and all his Senators,t.d.,and MEPs similar and deserved names. Trevallion was aman of power during the Famine who ensured thar food was exported abroad while the native Irish died of hunger. This crowd of environmental thugs are Hell bent on destroying rural ireland and turning it into a place for their supporters to go for strolls ,a place devoid of people ,not to be used for rural living.

 The further attack on the use of turf is just another demonstration of the hatred of these vile snobs on us the undermeichen. I believe in God and the Devil.There was a family around here who used go on their knees and say the Rosary at those who seriously wronged them.I always frowned at that practise. In the case of the Greens I would make an exception.
