OK, on that note, at the ploughing, we'll have to leave it there.

Many thanks for joining us today.
Albert DeasyGUEST
I asked for a vote.
Albert DeasyGUEST
Only two other councilors, Councilor Nolan from Independent Ireland and Councilor Paul Deamain, Deamain supported me.
Albert DeasyGUEST
But that's, my point really is that the record is not correct in relation to the variation.
Albert DeasyGUEST
Really significant points, and that is a problem that occurs month in, month out.

PJ CooganHOST
Thank you.
PJ CooganHOST
Daniel Sexton, Councillor Daniel Sexton, based in, uh, West Cork.
PJ CooganHOST
He's from Independent Ireland.
PJ CooganHOST
So from the 1st of October, you can bring timber again.
Alan CorcoranHOST
Now, there was another political shake-up in the county this summer.
Alan CorcoranHOST
As Independent Ireland have joined the ranks of Wexler County Council, they've teamed up with formerly Independent Councillor Michael Sheehan, who became the party's 26th Councillor nationwide this week.
Alan CorcoranHOST
You heard yesterday a detailed interview with the party leader, Michael Collins, as well.
Alan CorcoranHOST
But our local democracy reporter, Aidan Delaney, who'll be back at the various district and main council meeting over the next week or two, has put together
Aidan DelaneyCORRESPONDENT
this package.
Aidan DelaneyCORRESPONDENT
Two years after leaving Fianna Fáil, Michael Sheehan has found himself a party animal once again.
Aidan DelaneyCORRESPONDENT
The independent councillor for New Ross will now link up with the centre-right party Independent Ireland after striking out on his own back in 2024.
Aidan DelaneyCORRESPONDENT
Before that, Councillor Sheehan spent 25 years in Fianna Fáil before departing prior to the last general election.
Niall BoylanHOST
Welcome along to the show.
Niall BoylanHOST
A little bit later on, I'm going to be talking to TD Michael Collins from Independent Ireland about the suggestion from Jackie Healy-Ray that we reduce the tax on overtime.
Niall BoylanHOST
Now, of course, Michael Collins from Independent Ireland would have us believe that that was an idea by Independent Ireland, but not by Jackie Healy-Ray, and he kind of nicked the idea.
Niall BoylanHOST
Either way, it doesn't matter whose idea it is.
Niall BoylanHOST
It's a good idea, isn't it? But there are complications around it.
Paul TreyvaudHOST
But there's loads of people leaving people before profit.
Paul TreyvaudHOST
Is there rumours, rumblings? Nick Ireland, Independent Ireland, they're making a few in the way, Bernie?
Nick DelehantyHOST
Independent Ireland are signing up councillors.
Nick DelehantyHOST
But the people for profit split, I don't know a whole lot about it, but by all accounts, there's a group moving to the Social Democrats, if I read that right.
Nick DelehantyHOST
Maybe I got that wrong, but I think the fear was... within these left parties that like the SOC Dems are mopping it all up and they're outflanking them.
Nick DelehantyHOST
And then on the other side, yeah, Independent Ireland have signed up two councillors, one I think from Leitrim or Longford and the other from Wexford.
Nick DelehantyHOST
And yeah, they're on the move.
Nick DelehantyHOST
Yeah, things are happening.
