The irony of these fires is that upland sheep are only being farmed because of subsidies given to farmers by the government. They’re near worthless otherwise.
If we stopped giving these farmers subsidies, the hillsides would also not be overgrazed resulting in natural native trees growing.
The cost of this policy disaster just gets worse and worse.

Every year without fail this is happening in the Mournes and across Ireland’s uplands; but the Mournes seems to get it the worst.
It’s absolutely shocking and shameful someone would do this to the land.
I hope t’fuck if they ever convict someone for this, the sentence is harsh. Their farming payments should be pulled too
