Duke of Devonshire seeking 'exorbitant' rent hikes from Lismore farmers, Dáil told Waterford TD Conor McGuinness told the Dáil that the standoff has ‘echoes of darker times in our history” in how “absentee landlords” treated farmers.

#DukeOfDevonshire and the farmers of #Knockmealdown www.thejournal.ie/duke-of-devo...

Hiking rents to get rid of tenant farmers forever so they can do what they want with that gorgeous land??

Development for housing? Nature reserve? Family attraction? ???

There’s a lot not being said about this & it’ll come out in the wash.
