milk crisis

The President of the Irish Farmers Association says dairy farms are facing a crisis due to the current weather conditions.  A rising number of farmers throughout the country are at risk of large financial losses as their milk cannot be collected due to snow and ice on roads.  Consumers could be impacted as farmers may be forced to dispose of stored milk if it is not collected urgently.  Hopefully the crisis can diverted asap.

a day of deliveries

I happened to be out when these three trucks were heading in to town to deliver some more windmill sections.  These sections were not as long as the previous ones so there was no problems or delays.  I saw a Garda vehicle drive up ahead to monitor the situation.  After taking a few photos we headed down toward the water.  I noticed that some people still get their milk delivered.  I remember when I was growing up, we had a milkman deliver our milk but it was in a glass bottle and it was placed inside by our door.  Here, in most cases there isn't an inside door.  The mornings are cool so I guess the milk is ok to be outside for a bit.  If you can't place the milk by a door, I guess the window is the next best option.
