Irish Mammies...

There is no mistaking the impact of Irish Mammies… behind every great revolution you will find them. When their name is Fitzpatrick, you have to smile! They get around.
​
The last few weeks have seen a major change to Dutch parliament as the BBB Farmer- Citizen Movement have gained the vote of the people to represent their voices. #Nofarmersnofood has translated into a political voice as farmers have joined forces to protest at the political decisions to reduce the nitrogen emissions directives from the EU. The forced shut down of 3000 farms labelled peak polluters has raised the ire of the masses and they have come out to support the farmers at the ballot box. This party was set up in 2019. In 4 short years they have a strong voice that will no doubt influence policy there and here.  Caroline Van Der Plas leads the BBB. Nuala Fitzpatrick is her Irish Mammy. Don’t mess with them…!
