RTÉ News reports that farming experts are concerned that this year's potato harvest will fall short because of poor ground and weather conditions.
Just 30 percent of the countrywide potato crop has been harvested this year, with only between 10 and 15 percent of the winter crop having been planted at all.
This could lead to some farmers having to give up on potatoes this year entirely, instead focusing on less profitable crops.
And less delicious ones too, probably.
This lack of harvest is also set to negatively affect farmers' incomes for next year, if they cannot get the potatoes in the ground in time - a feat that is proving difficult given all of the questionable weather we've been having.
The rain - it ruins everything, tbh.
