This caught my attention:

“The demand has been absolutely phenomenal,” Burke, an agricultural scientist from County Tipperary, said on Friday.

Who else do we know that need to be burried in a coffin containing the soil of their homeland country.

I guess that their next business will be to sell sand to the Arabs.
