And I believe that the Kill...Shocking stuff indeed. And I believe that the Killarney Fire Brigade had 40 call outs last weekend to many fires raging around Killarney National Park. It's ridiculous that they have helicopters flying over rural areas looking for people burning rubbish in incinerators or bonfires to get rid of leaves (much of which could be composted), and then these people get fined, but yet farmers have a free hand to reek havoc over vast tracts of land!! Here in Spain now it is a very, very serious crime to cause a wildfire. Hefty prison sentences are being handed out even to people who "unwittingly" chucked a cigarette butt away and caused the destruction of thousands of hectares. They have even done DNA tests on butts as part of the investigation.<br />It's about time legislation was brought in. Any response in the media from Phil Hogan??
