The terror of ee-leck-trissty. Most of these people are as out there as the anti-vaccers and the chemtrail folks.

Grow up.

Not everyone in Ireland is a broadsheet-reading metrosexual apartment-dwelling wage slave. Some folks like to live in peace and quiet and don’t take too kindly to others taking what they worked long and hard for.

Riiight. I’m not sure what any of that has to do with the kind of idiot that spreads rumours that pylons cause cancer and the like.
What you’re talking about is raw NIMBYism. “It’s my land, it was my father’s land, go home yank”. Not the kind of attitude that is helpful when trying to bring, for example, industry and employment to parts of Ireland outside Dublin.
But I suppose you don’t want a job, what with that meagre parcel of land you cling desperately to.
Lads, we all know it. Don’t mess with the Bull.

The difference a comma makes.
Why does he want to keep Eirgrid for himself.
Or did he mean “Hands off, Eirgrid!”
