What's the point of Unite? asks Ben Pile. They've backed a green agenda that's gutted British industry and destroyed jobs ? all while sitting on billions and failing to fight for workers caught in the crossfire.

A question to the people who are peeved by this.
If you needed something and it would cost you 100 Euro less by going over the border and buying it in the North, what would you do?
The Army, like any other organisation have a budget. Making the most of that budget by getting the best value makes perfect sense. Fair play to them.
The thing is, the same people moaning about this would be flying off the handle if they heard an Irish Company wasn't been considered for a contract because the organisation looking for it done was in a different country and was only considering tenders from companies in that country.
"We're been feed by the british again some things will never change !!!!!! nothing like the taste of west brit turkey."
You are what eat.
If we keep feeding English food to the Irish army we will end up with an "English Army".
Mark my words!
.
the army are so concerned with doing any business with the uk that even the food sourced now comes from there so our lads you could well say are been feed by the british again some things will never change !!!!!! nothing like the taste of west brit turkey
on a recent over haul and refurbishment of finner army barricks in Donegal all materials sought and contracts were given to english companies in the north and it wasnt about price saving...................
"Some believe that the government should lead by example and shop locally."
Since when was Northern Ireland not "local" ?
Besides.
I'd put my money over the counter in the North far quicker than I would in the grasping rip-off South any day.
I once bought a pair of woolen socks made in Northern Ireland in a shop in Sligo instead of a pair of socks made in pagan England. Wasn't that patriotic of me?
well done to the irish army at least they are getting value for money and not going with a firm just cause they are from the republic, anyway we're all irish, whats your problem was it you that didnt get the contract????????
