Ireland has been importing potato seeds from Scotland for over 150 years but amazingly the EU has banned them following Brexit because they do not comply with "phytosanitary rules". I thought it truly remarkable that the most virus resistant seed available to Ireland since the Great Famine does not comply with EU rules. And we pay the EU for the privilege.

Of course when the potato crop inevitably fails in Ireland, they will no doubt blame it on climate change!
ReplyDeleteIt appears they want to stop seed coming into Northern Ireland also.
