@keira_con @ConceptDairy Same with my company. I Had to let 3 people go. 3 vans now off the road. Turnover for vanity and profits for sanity. Let’s just say sanity left the building.

And so it starts, The kids can walk to school or cycle like we did. Mr Kenneally, who operates a fleet of 25 buses, said he gave Bus Éireann prior notice that he would not operate the school routes beyond the Easter holidays A well known coach operator said he has pulled out of 13 schoolbus runs because the cost of fuel and tax on fuel were crippling his business. Paudie Kenneally, Kenneally Coach Hire, Newcastle West, Limerick said: “I’m not going to go bankrupt to cover school runs for Bus Éireann or anyone.” “I feel sorry for our kids using our service, but this is now a race to the bottom, and I won’t be working like that,” added Kenneally (50s). Asked what he would say to parents and pupils who require school transport, he replied: “Look, that is the heartbreaking part of it, I am driving children all my life, my father before me, we’re in the business 43 years.” “I drive a lot of children with special educational needs, and autistic children who don’t like change, who like to see the same bus driver - you’d be mad about them,” he said, becoming emotional. Kenneally said he gave Bus Éireann prior notice that he would not operate the school routes beyond the Easter holidays. Kenneally said a fuel support package unveiled by government would not change his mind. “I don’t need the stress and pressure of this anymore. It was very easy to make a decision to make, the numbers don’t add up.” “The operating costs are gone too high, and this 10 cent (reduction on excise duty on a litre of petrol, diesel) ) is only a waste of time, it will be evaporated straightaway.” “The biggest problem we have in Ireland is that the middle class are being squeezed, and the middle are paying everything.” He said a 16.5 per cent cut to excise duty on private aircraft fuel approved by the government last month, was a kick in the teeth to everyone outside of that demographic group, and he asked, “if you have a private jet or a helicopter are you worried about the price of fuel?” The Limerick coach operator said he supported his neighbours, friends, colleagues and customers who took part in last week’s blockade at a fuel terminal at Foynes village. Kenneally said his late father, David Kenneally, who began their schoolbus service 43 years ago, would have made the same decision that he has now made: “He’s like me, he’s a figures man, one plus one has to make two.” Kenneally, who employs 17 staff and operates a fleet of 25 buses, said he would continue to operate bus services for active retirement groups, tourists, HSE, and private hire services. “It’s a terror to walk away from the school runs, I’ve been driving second generation kids to school, it’s very upsetting.”

Imagine your costs doubling overnight… but your income stays the same. In Ireland we have seen farmers, hauliers & contractors take to the streets to protest. And when farmers get hit — you the consumer are next. Like, comment, share 👍 📸@guardian, @BBCNews & @thejournal_ie

We're pretty worried how this is panning out. Dairy markets are weakening more while costs keep skyrocketing . Butter dropped €8 to €410. WMP stable at €330. SMP down €2 to €270. Perfect storm in the making. Who’s properly hedged… and who’s not?

Bread seems simple. But many contain… Palm oil. Seed oils. Long ingredient lists. And once again — cheaper ingredients mean farmers lose out. Support real food. Support real farmers. Follow us for more simple swaps that actually make a difference. @LidlGB

The Simple Swap for Palm Oil-Free Biscuits: 👉 Choose biscuits made with real ingredients 👉 Check the label and skip the ones with palm oil If big brands can make biscuits without palm oil… why are so many still using it? Put the right ones in your trolley. @MDLZ

@wrurestore @LidlGB A race to the bottom on milk price helps no one, not farmers, not rivers, and not consumers wanting truly sustainable dairy. "Farmers can't go Green if they are in the Red", @LidlGB can have a huge impact on this
