will the poor farmer get compo from the love Lisbon brigade

No, because migrants have form in this regard. There have been attested--not urban myth--cases of sheep and pig slaughtering in the streets of Dublin, while migrant workers have emptied our rivers of their fish stocks.

Don't forget the swans!!

Swan I think must be very tasty. I tried to rescue a swan once that had electrocuted itself on an overhead ESB wire. The aroma of roasted swan flesh was intoxicating.

Sad to say, the swan passed away, uneaten, at the local vets.

Its head was cut off and its innards removed at the scene, but no trace was left of the remainder of the body

Guess they can rule out suicide.

I saw about 8 swans in the Tolka recently. And last year a swan gave birth to 6 (I think) baby swans beside the Luke Kelly Bridge in Ballybough. See pictures here:
