Apples grow really well in Ireland. Despite that, only about one in twenty apples eaten in Ireland is grown here, with the other 19 imported. This group represents apple growers in Ireland, and is involved in the redevelopment of the apple growing industry.

The thing I hate most about AI besides the fact that it’s being rolled out before it’s even ready to be used by anyone, it’s that it’s not even for users. It’s so that these companies can impress other companies with what they’re doing with AI

I don't think it's just people who might, for example, criticize US foreign policy wrt Gaza they're targeting. Critizism of Trump, and his (imo) anti-American policies, highlighting of ICE behaviour etc., is likely to endanger your Visa. Pretty soon US citizens will face the same scrutiny.

Irish Apple Brandy. If it hadn't existed, neither would any other brandies today.
Ireland is the distillation capital of the World. When Hennessy etc escaped via flight of the Earls they brought it to France. This is Dromin House in Listowel (just restored), where reference to an apple brandy distillation room dates to 1661.
