Where can I find information about foods eaten in prehistoric Ireland?

I just finished reading food historian Regina Sexton’s book "A Little History of Irish Food," in the hopes she would have such information. Unfortunately, her material is a bit unclear on that subject. What were the native foods in Ireland–circa 500 BC? The Romans introduced many foods, so is there information that deals with earlier times?
No, prehistory is any time before written records were kept, which usually began with the so-called Christian era.

well, we know prehistoric people ate a lot of pork. Huge amounts of pig bones have been found from the time of the winter solstice near Stonehenge. The culture of ancient Ireland was similar, and in celtic myth you can see that wild boars (and the killing of them) created great status in the warrior society. The Champion’s portion, awarded to the greatest warrior, was the largest,tastiest bit of a roasted boar.
Sheep and oxen had also been domesticated, and ox bones have been found deposited around burial mounds from funerary feasting. As ox horns often had a solar connection, these were sometimes placed in monuments ritually too.
Alcohol seems to have been around since about 2500 BC, around the time of the Beaker people, who were in both Britain and Ireland. Traces have been found inside beakers placed in barrows. The drink was probably something like mead or a type of beer. Some have suggested the Beaker people had some kind of a male drinking cult–and that they are probably the people who brought the celtic languages to Britain and Ireland.
Of course there were berries and fruit–crab apples (the little ones, big apples came with the Romans) and a grape seed was found in Dorset, England from the neolithic (sahowing that the climate was warmer.)
They had grain from the neolithic onwards,so presumably had bread or some kind of porridge, and on some sites there has been evidence of seafood consumption–although in other places, people didn’t touch it at all even though they lived by the sea, so perhaps for some it was taboo.

What was the big deal with the air traffic controller strikes in ireland?

Only glanced briefly at the story but i knew it had to do with new technology so what was the big deal and what type of technology was it?
what i mean "what was the big deal" i mean what was it that angered the air traffic controllers so much that they striked

There is a pay freeze on all public service salaries. The Controllers were to implement an upgrade in their computer programme, similar to changing from Vista to Windows 7. They demanded a 6% pay rise. The claim was reviewed by an independent body and was rejected. The controllers insisted that their jobs would be more stressful with the upgrade, although it was shown that it would make their jobs even simpler. They refused to work the new system and on implementation day, 12 controllers were suspended, on full pay. The Unions called all their members to a meeting, which left the airport crippled for 4 hours. The issue is still unsettled. Average salaries for controllers are between €120, 000 and €200,000 p.a. The general opinion of the rest of the public service employees is that it is a blatant case of greed, and has no support.
