According to a news item, Simon Coveney’s brother is chief executive officer of as described eco giant, Greencore, believed to have formed in 1991 during the privatisation of Irish sugar. The company, not thought to be particularly ecological, is believed to have digressed into convenience food, reportedly exiting from the sugar market in 2006, and since then are believed to have acquired several u.k. and u.s. food brands.
Greencore is said to produce 123 million chilled convenience meals every year and 717 million sandwiches and similar food to go. It reportedly produces a range of 2,300 types of convenience foods. Sounds like a monopoly: With regard to Irish enterprise; for instance Ireland’s off shore energy exploration sector were reportedly applying for gas licensing, to what authoritive body is unclear. The superpowers explore and drill for lucrative oil and gas; yet reports were of so called evidence that gas exploration and transportation results in some emmisions, and that natural gas produces more emmisions than the equivalent energy burned by coal or oil.
National energy industries are often vilified seemingly mainly under the cause of environmentalism, yet the superpowers are allowing people to die for the want of their oil. Yemen is a current example and reportedly in crisis. People are said to be dying from lack of food. Aid is seemingly left to charity, and donating websites can be difficult and undiplomatic.
