Derek Keogh from Keoghs potatoes harvesting potatoes for crisping in Lispopple, Co Dublin. This year has been really good for potaotes in north dublin according to the Keoghs. While there has been heavy down pours, they have come at the right time. Keoghs plant around 350 hectares in north Dublin each year. This year potatoes seed is costing around €700 per tonne versus €550 a tonne last year due to the poor yields from the crops in 2018. \ Philip Doyle
