Abstract:
Irish farms are predominately and highly specialized in crops as cereals, protein crops and in dairy productions. The aim of this research was to estimate the economic efficiency in Irish farms part of the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) dataset stratified in function of their own typology of productive specialization since 2004 to 2015 by a quantitative approach such as the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Positive has been the role of inputs as financial subsidies allocated by the Common Agricultural Policy, the first and second pillar, in increasing the economic efficiency of Irish farms. Field crops farms have not had the best results in terms of the economic efficiency even if over the time, in particular during the economic crises 2008-2009, findings have not been stable with significant fluctuations and a sharply decrease of efficiency as a consequence of economic turbulences. Focusing the attention on the research outcomes in all years of investigation comparing also the different typology of farming, mixed farms and farms with animals, such as specialist cattle, sheep, goats and other grazing livestock, have had the highest levels of economic efficiency equal to 100%; by contrast Irish dairy farms have had the modest levels of economic efficiency close to 77%.

Abstract:
SUMMARYThe current paper aims to determine regional impacts of climate change on Irish farms examining the variation in farm responses. A set of crop growth models were used to determine crop and grass yields under a baseline scenario and a future climate scenario. These crop and grass yields were used along with farm-level data taken from the Irish National Farm Survey in an optimizing farm-level (farm-level linear programming) model, which maximizes farm profits under limiting resources. A change in farm net margins under the climate change scenario compared to the baseline scenario was taken as a measure to determine the effect of climate change on farms. The growth models suggested a decrease in cereal crop yields (up to 9%) but substantial increase in yields of forage maize (up to 97%) and grass (up to 56%) in all regions. Farms in the border, midlands and south-east regions suffered, whereas farms in all other regions generally fared better under the climate change scenario used in the current study. The results suggest that there is a regional variability between farms in their responses to the climate change scenario. Although substituting concentrate feed with grass feeds is the main adaptation on all livestock farms, the extent of such substitution differs between farms in different regions. For example, large dairy farms in the south-east region adopted total substitution of concentrate feed while similar dairy farms in the south-west region opted to replace only 0·30 of concentrate feed. Farms in most of the regions benefitted from increasing stocking rate, except for sheep farms in the border and dairy farms in the south-east regions. The tillage farms in the mid-east region responded to the climate change scenario by shifting arable production to beef production on farms.

Abstract:
The threat to public health posed by antimicrobial resistance in livestock production means that the pig sector is a particular focus for efforts to reduce antimicrobial use (AMU). This study sought to investigate the risk factors for AMU in Irish pig production. Antimicrobial use data were collected from 52 farrow-to-finish farms. The risk factors investigated were farm characteristics and performance, biosecurity practices, prevalence of pluck lesions at slaughter and serological status for four common respiratory pathogens and vaccination and prophylactic AMU practices. Linear regression models were used for quantitative AMU analysis and risk factors for specific AMU practices were investigated using logistic regression. Farms that milled their own feed had lower total AMU (p < 0.001), whereas higher finisher mortality (p = 0.043) and vaccinating for swine influenza (p < 0.001) increased AMU. Farms with higher prevalence of pericarditis (p = 0.037) and lung abscesses (p = 0.046) used more group treatments. Farms with higher prevalence of liver milk spot lesions (p = 0.018) and farms practising prophylactic AMU in piglets (p = 0.03) had higher numbers of individual treatments. Farms practising prophylactic AMU in piglets (p = 0.002) or sows (p = 0.062) had higher use of cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones. This study identified prophylactic use and respiratory disease as the main drivers for AMU in Irish pig production. These findings highlight areas of farm management where interventions may aid in reducing AMU on Irish pig farms.

Abstract:
Farmland fragmentation is considered to be a defining feature of Northern Ireland’s (NI) agricultural landscape, influencing agricultural efficiency, productivity, and the spread of livestock diseases. Despite this, the full extent of farmland fragmentation in cattle farms in NI is not well understood, and little is known of how farmland fragmentation either influences, or is influenced by, different animal production types. Here, we describe and quantify farmland fragmentation in cattle farms for all of NI, using GIS processing of land parcel data to associate individual parcels with data on the cattle business associated with the land. We found that 35% of farms consisted of five or more fragments, with dairy farms associated with greater levels of farmland fragmentation, fragment dispersal and contact with contiguous neighbours compared to other production types. The elevated levels of farmland fragmentation in dairy production compared to non-dairy, may be associated with the recent expansion of dairy farms by land acquisition, following the abolition of the milk quota system in 2015. The comparatively high levels of farmland fragmentation observed in NI cattle farms may also have important implications for agricultural productivity and epidemiology alike. Whilst highly connected pastures could facilitate the dissemination of disease, highly fragmented land could also hamper productivity via diseconomies of scale, such as preventing the increase of herd sizes or additionally, adding to farm costs by increasing the complexity of herd management.

Abstract:
The European Union’s (EU) climate and energy package requires all EU countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20% by 2020. Based on current trends, Ireland is on track to miss this target with a projected reduction of only 5% to 6%. The agriculture sector has consistently been the single largest contributor to Irish GHG emissions, representing 33% of all emissions in 2017. Small-scale anaerobic digestion (SSAD) holds promise as an attractive technology for the treatment of livestock manure and the organic fraction of municipal wastes, especially in low population communities or standalone waste treatment facilities. This study assesses the viability of SSAD in Ireland, by modelling the technical, economic, and environmental considerations of operating such plants on commercial Irish dairy farms. The study examines the integration of SSAD on dairy farms with various herd sizes ranging from 50 to 250 dairy cows, with co-digestion afforded by grass grown on available land. Results demonstrate feedstock quantities available on-farm to be sufficient to meet the farm’s energy needs with surplus energy exported, representing between 73% and 79% of the total energy generated. All scenarios investigated demonstrate a net CO2 reduction ranging between 2059–173,237 kg CO2-eq. yr−1. The study found SSAD systems to be profitable within the plant’s lifespan on farms with dairy herds sizes of >100 cows (with payback periods of 8–13 years). The simulated introduction of capital subvention grants similar to other EU countries was seen to significantly lower the plant payback periods. The insights generated from this study show SSAD to be an economically sustainable method for the mitigation of GHG emissions in the Irish agriculture sector.

Abstract:
Irish farmers have traditionally supported the two major political parties in part in order to influence governments who made national farm policy. Ireland's entry into the European Economic Community in 1973 shifted the locus of agricultural policy-making to the continent and changed the ability of Irish politicians to control the provision of goods and services to their constituents. The "large farmers" of County Meath were quick to see that their economic livelihoods demanded a redefinition of their political roles. The national tax dispute of 1979 established a pattern in Irish politics in which Irish commercial fanners have eschewed many of their former political roles and have joined ranks within the increasingly powerful national farmers' organization, the Irish Farmers' Association, in order to affect national and international agricultural and tax policy decisions. This Irish case is an example of an international phenomenon, namely, the erosion of the material bases of a decreasing population of family farmers and their strategies to influence policy determination by governments which had once accorded farmers more favored statuses.

Abstract:
High fat dairy products, such as butter and margarine can be contaminated during the milk production process with a residue called Trichloromethane (TCM), which results from the use of chlorine based detergent solutions. Although, TCM concentrations in Irish products are not at levels that are a public health issue, such contamination can cause marketing difficulties in countries to which Irish products are being exported. In an attempt to reduce such milk residues, a template procedure was developed, tried and tested on 43 farms (from 3 processing companies). This involved identifying farms with high TCM milk, applying corrective action in the form of advice and recommendations to reduce TCM and re-measuring milks from these farms. Trichloromethane in milk was measured by head-space gas chromatography with electron capture detector. The TCM reduction strategy proved successful in significantly reducing the levels in milk in the farms tested, e.g. TCM was reduced from 0·006 to the target of 0·002 mg/kg (P < 0·05). The strategy was then applied to farms who supplied milk to six Irish dairy processors with the objective of reducing TCM in those milks to a level of ⩽0·002 mg/kg. Initially, milk tankers containing milks from approximately 10–15 individual farms were sampled and analysed and tankers with high TCM (>0·002 mg/kg) identified. Individual herd milks contributing to these tankers were subsequently sampled and analysed and farms supplying high TCM identified. Guidance and advice was provided to the high TCM milk suppliers and levels of TCM of these milk supplies were monitored subsequently. A significant reduction (minimum P < 0·05) in milk TCM was observed in 5 of the 6 dairy processor milks, while a numerical reduction in TCM was observed in the remaining processor milk.

Full text
Abstract:
The toxigenic fungal moulds Penicillium, Fusarium and Aspergillus have previously been identified in silages and these moulds, whose activity in feeds can be unevenly distributed, can produce the secondary metabolite mycotoxins. Mycotoxins can exert a range of detrimental effects on livestock including reproductive disorders, organ damage, immunosuppression and lameness. To accurately assess the risk posed to livestock by mycotoxins in feed, an UHPLC-MS/MS analytical method, capable of detecting 20 mycotoxins in a single assay and inclusive of all eight EU regulated mycotoxins, was developed, validated and successfully applied to silage samples. Constituents within silage can be unevenly distributed, and collecting a representative sample may thus be challenging. Therefore, the variability in conventional chemical and mycotoxins characteristics in the next-to-be-fed pit section or bale of silage was quantified and an assessment made of the intensity of sampling that was required. Collecting a representative core sample from silages for conventional chemical characteristics was feasible (2-4 cores), whereas representatively sampling for mycotoxin analysis could require an order of magnitude more intensive sampling, and this might not be practical in practice (e.g. up to 128 cores per bale for some mycotoxins). In contrast, intensive sampling of chopped and mixed silages from the feed trough produced both baled and pit silage samples that could be analysed to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of conventional chemical composition and, under the prevailing circumstances, of mycotoxins type and concentrations. This study also characterised the mycotoxin challenge presented to livestock by the next-to-be-fed pit section or bale of silage. Two separate surveys were conducted in January - February 2012 (pilot survey) and December 2012 - March 2014 (national survey) to identify and quantify the mycotoxin incidence and concentrations on the next-to-be-fed pit section or bale of silage. Fusarium-produced zearalenone was detected in the national survey study, although this was only in Year 2. The increased incidence of zearalenone in Year 2 coincides with the daily maximal monthly (July) air temperatures of 22°C, which is the optimal temperature for Fusarium fungal development. Zearalenone was detected in pit and baled grass silages and pit maize silage but only in a total of 1 % of national survey samples. The maximum zearalenone value recorded was 76 ug/kg DM and this was less than 4 % of the EU regulated threshold. The most common mycotoxins detected were the Fusarium-produced enniatins and beauvericin. These were most likely formed during crop growth (Le. pre-mowing). They were, however, found in all silage types and were at relatively low concentrations, with mean concentrations of individual enniatins ranging from 9.1 to 364 ug/kg OM. The incidence of these mycotoxins tended to be elevated when the harvested grass crops were produced over a more extended duration. They were thus associated with low silage DMD that was indicative of a crop harvested at a later, more advanced growth stage, and also with a later month of harvest. The post-mowing Penicillium-produced mycotoxins (andrastin A, mycophenolic acid and roqueforline C) were most commonly detected in baled grass silage, and although their overall incidence was low, there was a large range in their mean concentrations. For example,mycophenolic acid ranged from 287 to 11,157 ug/kgDM. Post-mowing mycotoxins in this study were positively related to the presence of visible mould colonies on silage bales and to the presence of rotted silage in pit silages.

Abstract:
In land-based integrated aquaculture of marine finfish and macroalgae, rearing space is a large expense. Increasing algal stocking density can increase efficiency, but this may require greater irradiance because of self-shading. To determine the irradiance needed, experiments were conducted in one-litre flasks with enriched seawater under natural and artificial illumination. Under natural illumination, a Daily Photon Dose of 17 mol m-2 d-1 at 10 and 14 ºC, Palmaria palmata cultured at 10 g L-1 grew 100 % faster and absorbed 20 % more nutrients than Chondrus crispus. However, Atlantic halibut farm effluent can reach up to 19 ºC in summer, too high for P. palmata. Under artificial illumination, C. crispus performed better than under natural illumination. Light saturation curves indicated nutrient uptake by C. crispus at 10 g L-1 and 10 ºC was highest at 23 mol m-2 d-1 irradiance, equivalent to 400 µmol m-2 s-1 for 16 hours

Abstract:
Like other Hebridean proprietors, Stewart Mackenzie suffered from the decline in cattle and kelp prices at the end of the Napoleonic Wars and from problems of debt management and population increase. With some input from his wife Mary, he attempted to increase the revenue from the island of Lewis by developing fisheries, whisky distilling and sheep farming. He believed that prosperity could be generated and that small tenants who made way for sheep farms could be given alternatives by being moved into existing settlements and onto previously uncultivated land. The productivity of small tenants was intended to be increased by a programme of ‘lotting and leasing’, a system later known as crofting. Distance from markets and incompetent implementation were important factors in failure to reduce debt levels or to prevent destitution. However, larger farms were divided to create middle sized ones and crofting townships. It is argued that clearances on Lewis at this time were less extensive than has been suggested, that mixed motives, confused decision making and shortage of capital contributed to failures and that, as T.M. Devine has shown elsewhere at this period, the Stewart Mackenzies refused to exploit their economic opportunities to the full.

Abstract:
In 1983 a television crew was making a documentary film about the health of the employees of a nuclear fuels reprocessing plant in England on the coast of the Irish Sea. This plant had previously been the site of a facility for the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons until it was converted to fuels processing after a fire in the reactor in 1957, during which there had been some release of radioactive material to the environment. The crew, filming in a town called Seascale 3 kilometers from the plant, where a number of the employees lived, was shocked to learn from the townspeople that there had been a surprising number of cases of leukemia among their children. Childhood leukemia is a rare disease, but in this small town there had been five cases in the preceding few years, ten times the number of cases that would have been expected from the average rate elsewhere in Great Britain. The focus of the film was changed from the health of the staff of the nuclear facility to the childhood leukemia in Seascale. Shown on television later that year, it aroused national attention and concern, making its points forcefully with shots of rapidly clicking Geiger counters in the neighborhood of the plant, claims that the coastline there is “the most radioactive environment on earth,” interviews with the anguished parents of sick or deceased children, reports of cows on neighboring farms born with malformations, and scenes of children playing on the beach with the smokestacks of the plant in the immediate background. It also reported that there had been some 300 other accidents at the plant in which radiation had been released, though the amounts were all of lesser magnitude than in the 1957 fire. The process for recovering plutonium from spent fuel from power plants does not recover all the plutonium, and some has to be disposed of as waste, along with other radioactive elements. Those responsible for the design of the plant had made the decision, based on both economic considerations and what was then known about the health hazards of radiation, to discharge much of this radioactive waste into the Irish Sea.

Abstract:
Though McGahern’s father was a police officer and his mother a schoolteacher, they had a small farm where the writer spent his childhood years, and it was this home territory of rural Roscommon and Leitrim that was central to his fiction. Recurrently in the novels and stories, the former Republican father, disillusioned with independent Ireland, rules over the farm as his own independent republic, but alienates the son whom he needs as heir. Amongst Women shows up the illusion of the patriarchal ideal of the family working together on the farm and its crippling gender politics. Yet, dissatisfaction with the city drives key characters back to the alternative life of the farm, as in ‘The Country Funeral’. In That They May Face the Rising Sun, McGahern creates his fullest version of the farming community, at once tenderly pastoral and caustically observed in its social reality.

Farming childhoods may be recalled, as in John Montague’s poems as a first formative world, or a historically foundational landscape in Polly Devlin’s memoir. Maura Laverty remembered an (imagined) childhood on a farm with her beloved grandmother, while Alice Taylor’s popular Through the Fields to School makes an idyll of her recollections. But equally there are traumatic memories of farmhood violence in the poetry of Jane Clarke or of sexual abuse in the family home, as in Claire Keegan’s short story ‘The Parting Gift’. The childhood farm milieu can also be a place of estrangement in Keegan’s novella Foster, and of alienation in Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls.

Abstract:
The imperative after the Famine to keep the small farm from being subdivided led to the familist system under which one son, not necessarily the first-born, was to inherit; all the others had to find lives elsewhere, mostly through emigration. Poems by Bernard O’Donoghue and John Montague, a story of George Moore, and a play by T. C. Murray dramatize this situation. In other works by Murray and Eugene McCabe, the focus is on the ageing autocrat without an heir. Plays of Padraic Colum and John Murphy stage the divided impulses of staying home on the land and leaving for America. The small farm, metonym for the nation in the Revival period, becomes the battleground of the family.

While there are challenges to transferring theory from one context (British urban) to another (Irish rural), using Ireland as a case study this chapter argues for the value of a left realist approach to agricultural theft. The objective of this chapter is to take a small step towards rectifying the hidden nature of agricultural theft, and fear of theft by ironing out some conceptual, theoretical and methodological issues. The chapter begins with a review of Irish and international farm victimisation surveys. The core concepts of left realism are then summarised and its lessons are applied to agricultural theft. The final section draws lessons for Ireland from the international literature and proposes a left realist research agenda.

Abstract:
Recent studies have revealed a long history of large waves around Ireland, which can be attributed to persistent strong winds in this area. At the same time, due to the consistently high levels of wave energy, the West Coast of Ireland has attracted a lot of interest as a prospective site for deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) farms. The design of such devices, and in fact of any offshore installation, depends crucially on the knowledge of extreme sea states they will experience during their deployment time. With this in mind, an Extreme Value Analysis incorporating seasonality and accounting for long-term trends was performed, based on a 29 year hindcast for Ireland. The hindcast was performed using the WAVEWATCH III wave model in a 3 nested grid setup, with the largest grid covering the North Atlantic basin and the finest resolution grid (10km) focusing on Ireland. The model was forced with ERA-Interim 10m winds from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts. The wave model was validated by comparison to buoy data from the Irish Marine Data Buoy Network. The analysis was performed on the entire fine resolution grid. This affords a characterisation of the spatial variability in extremes both along the coast and with depth gradients. This is of interest in many marine applications, and in particular WEC design and deployment. Indeed, in the nearshore, wave energy levels can be similar to those found in the offshore. This, in conjunction with the diminished risk of extreme sea states, makes nearshore areas attractive for future ocean energy sites.
