8.7 Ireland
Ireland has a long history of cooperative movements, particularly in the agricultural sector. The Irish cooperative movement, which began in the late 19th century, played a crucial role in fostering rural development, promoting self-reliance, and improving the living conditions of small farmers. Today, agricultural cooperatives remain a significant part of the Irish economy, contributing to food security, rural employment, and sustainable agricultural practices.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
