Edition Bobbett2. Speeches and statements by Elizabeth F. Bobbett

1944 Mallow, Irish Dairy Shorthorn Breeders’ Society Congress

Source: Irish Examiner, 10.02.1944

Miss Elizabeth Bobbett supported the resolution on behalf of the Irish Farmers’ Federation. The farmers, she said, should give the public their true position because they had been grossly misrepresented, even this spring, at all the food production meetings all over the country. At the Fianna Fail Ard Fheis and other places Mr. Eamon de Valera and his Ministers had misrepresented the farmers’ position. He claimed to have saved 80 millions on the financial agreement with England. That 80 millions belonged to the farmers, and it was time they got some of it to tide them over their difficulties.
