@RoseFle54723126 I agree, and if oil supply is normal by the end of the year stimulus now could avoid a recession

@AndyDrewLyons Andrew, if that oil isn't released from the strait they will be cutting everything. Trust and believe.

You can't spend your way out of oil crisis.

@MarieTBrady @EmployRightsIE The politicians might get jobs with vulture funds after Irish politics

@EmployRightsIE If this is true Government should have introduced legislation to exclude multiple purchases of new houses. Single individual buyers only.

CSO stamp duty data released today shows it plain. For six straight years funds and institutions bought more of Ireland’s new homes than first time buyers. That is the housing policy. Not words. Not spin. That is the reality. People have every right to be furious. It is obscene.

@iamPB @EmployRightsIE Irish banks were given stricter rules, deposit ratios, for borrowing as part of the bail out

@EmployRightsIE Central bank lending rules mean that people qualify for much lower mortgages than their rent is, for no good reason. Reform is needed.

@WatchdogTh96012 The government can't consider that any of their huge spending, they introduced, is wasteful or doesn't provide cost benefit to Ireland and can be cut

In 2025 Ireland spent €2.2 Billion on Immigration. In 2025 Ireland spent €810 Million on Foreign Aid. In 2025 Ireland spent €11 Billion on NGOs. Now here they are crying about €750M package for struggling IRISH FAMILIES & WORKERS. This BS should not be tolerated. #Ireland

@murph17398 @Independent_ie They can't comprehend that any of their spending, which has increased enormously, is wasteful or has little benefit to the Irish people

@Independent_ie You cant say somethings impossible when it simply requires spending less money on things the public do not want/have not voted for. They literally threatening to punish working people for not wanting to be exploited during a crisis

Income tax breaks in budget would be impossible if cuts on petrol and diesel continue into next year buff.ly/4baQdgH

@Independent_ie Only if the government thinks that there is nowhere else to cut spending while there is plenty

@caulmick Has there ever been a conflict of interest identified in Irish politics? People must be putting this hands over their eyes to not see them

Although he confuses himself with IMF & The World Bank Ken O'Flynn TD asks if the increase of €10M given to the World Bank by Paschal Donohoe before taking up a job with them (€600K) has been refered to the Standards of Public Office #WorldBank #HowIrelandWorks

@_PeterRyan Looking into a potential significant global economic turmoil.. None of the Irish government spending can be cut? none is wasteful? all spending provides cost benefit to the Irish people? Ideological thinking.

Adult in the room

@FleurHassanN @rachelbsol18 @LibramoonSnoopy Anything about the result of WW2 you'd change?

@rachelbsol18 @LibramoonSnoopy Yes but we could, we have the highest concentration of AI talent in the world. We have always been outnumbered and still won every war. It needs intention and policy

I think one of Israel’s biggest PR problems on social media is that it’s heavily outnumbered by its enemies - and those enemies don’t play the rules. Israel and Jewish people generally stick to the rules and operate honestly. We have some great influencers, yes, but we don’t have massive bot farms or troll armies pumping out propaganda 24/7, flooding the internet and indoctrinating people with their narrative…

@PwNeilo The ideology is that all existing government spending is appropriate, not wasteful, benifits the Irish people and is too important to cut. Reality is very different.

Hard to argue with common sense.

@IBB_INVEST @TonightVMTV Low income people will have to pay VAT on all their meals and travel costs to work. The top 10% earners likely charge these as business expenses avoiding the cost and the tax.

@AndyDrewLyons @TonightVMTV So what taxes do the poors have to pay that the rich don’t??

@ClearReason Strange they are never seen on foreign trips in Europe or the US or Asia

Two million Muslims live and coexist in Israel. Strange how that never makes the headlines.

@elikowaz Have never seen a Muslim Israeli abroad, why?

Hunting down Israelis in a restaurant in Vietnam by their tattoos and harassing them until they leave is not activism. It's targeted harassment of Jews abroad. Let them eat their lunch in peace.

@IBB_INVEST @TonightVMTV There's also a whole bunch of taxes that are not income tax

@TonightVMTV In Ireland the top 10% of earners pay 63% of all income taxes. The bottom 30% of earners contribute a measly 1.3% of income taxes. 🤡 🤡 🤡

@TonightVMTV At no stage has the government considered cutting spending that is wasteful or provides no benefit to Ireland

@Dublinmarti @IrishPrideIRL You're in denial. I am in Australia like hundreds of thousands of young Irish. Irish nurse can get a mortgage here not bled dry

@AndyDrewLyons @IrishPrideIRL Rubbish. And you are in Australia.

The pumps ran dry because a shower of bully boys staged an illegal blockade. That's the truth of the matter. 🙄🙄

@Independent_ie Simon said the government cant reduce taxes and spend more... Of course cutting spending is not his radar, this government has increased spending (and gifting) hugely and they can't recognise they need to cut spending. There is plenty of waste and spending that can be cut.

Price of goods will rise along with escalating fuel costs, Simon Harris warns buff.ly/4W53jhk

@Dublinmarti @IrishPrideIRL For every 40c added to a litre of fuel by Trump, Irish go adds another 60c on top

@IrishPrideIRL Rubbish. It was Trump who led to this.

@RoseFle54723126 The European Commission employs 32,000 people

@AndyDrewLyons The commission is elected by EU member states.

Grow up. You can't break EU rules. Spain risks fines and a suspension of EU funds. Explain loss of EU subsidies to farmers.
