Aontú research has shown that hundreds of millions of euro of carbon tax is just going into the state coffers, not into Carbon reducing supports, as the government claims.
The government is Carbon tax gouging people in an energy crisis.

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Daniel Kinahan arrested and in custody in Dubai.

@Dublinmarti @caj21jac I’m not sure whether you’re aware, but when someone dies, it is not publicly announced until all family members have been informed.
Also, do you call for names to be released with the same intensity when they are withheld in rape cases due to nationality?
English
Imagine (even if it is true, and that's a big if) using the tragedy of a person's death to further your cause?
Absolutely disgusting. 😡😡😡

🚨BREAKING🚨 Absolutely devastating news this evening - One of the fuel protest organisers, Chris Duffy, says one of last week’s protesters is said to have taken his own life this morning. Fear, stress, pressure - this country is at breaking point. May he rest in peace 🙏

@pokemondealsuk When will confirmation emails come through for Chaos Rising pre order? :)

The Opposition claims nothing has been done. This is manifestly untrue.
We are implementing significant action, with a total package of €750 million designed to very directly help protect jobs and keep costs down.

@eoinneylon How does our home heating oil compare and our electricity prices? This goes far beyond diesel ffs. Shows how out of touch you are.
English
Once the new 10c reduction comes into affect tonight, this will bring prices in Ireland down this table further. Price of oil going up is negating that, however.
Worth noting that the average wage in Ireland is 54% above the EU average wage though. (ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/p…)

@sean_beatt61925 @keira_con @MichealLehane Home heating oil and white diesel caps were part of their demands...
English
@keira_con @MichealLehane You're a bigger fool if you think the farmers and hauliers care about the general public. If they get sorted, they'll be happy. They are as self serving as the next person.
English
Cabinet meetings on Sundays are rare and almost always happen at a time of crisis, tomorrow is no different as Government moves to sign off on supports for hauliers, farmers and fishing sector. Taoiseach and Tánaiste to meet in the morning and full Cabinet to convene around 4pm.
English
@EwanMacKenna The protesters never actually got to meet with the government to discuss their demands, but two of their main demands was the reduction in the cost of diesel and home heating oil. The protest isn't over
English
@EwanMacKenna Ewan I normally agree with you on a lot of things but I believe you are wrong here.
English
And within hours we have it.
Truckers fucked the country, got meetings and a pay off for themselves, fucked the country a second time, and are counting notes.
Can people never ever see the obvious scum leading them for greed?
Jesus H Christ it's so fucking frustrating.
Ewan MacKenna@EwanMacKenna
I hope I'm wrong but I always think us Irish have a gombeen streak. What will folk think if the truckers and farmers come out of talks with subsidies for themselves rather than reduced costs for all? In other words inconvenienced everyone else to get some of their taxes?
English
@Reunify32 This is what the government are offering not what the protesters wanted. Also they never actually spoke with the protesters.
English
And there you have it. The fuel protests were never intended to result in support for ordinary people. The farmers and hauliers were in it for themselves only and didn’t give a shit about inconveniencing the rest of us to achieve their aims.
Virgin Media News@VirginMediaNews
The Government is considering an "industrial subsidy scheme" for heavy users of diesel. It would result in cash payments that would not apply to ordinary civilians. #VMNews

One thing I've not heard anyone answer is, beyond the €250mn reduction in fuel taxes already in effect (costing the exchequer €4mn a day) where the shortfall should be made up from if we are to cut taxes substantially further? Spending on schools, hospitals, road maintenance?
English

Let's talk about wrecking balls Minster:
▪️€2,240,000,000 spent (so far) on a childrens hospital
▪️ €206,000 spent every single HOUR on IPAS accommodation (Govt have told us 81% economic migrants)
▪️ €336,000 spent on a bike shelter
▪️ €1,000,000 spent on bringing Ukranian dogs over
....and a ton more

I had initially thought that my fuel was too expensive, but then I learned that one of the hundreds of people protesting isn't perfect, and now I realise I should actually be taxed more.

The Irish Times and RTE published - line for line - four entirely identical paragraphs - in a row - about a fuel protestor. Are our media independent of each other or just part of a singular propaganda arm of Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael?
English
@garrettdonnelly Fuel tax is not right wing. Just because some ring wing activists jump on the bandwagon does not change the fundamental goal.
There is plenty of support from all sides to cut this tax.
English
The supposed fuel protest has very quickly morphed into a right wing attack on our democracy. All the anonymous fake patriot accounts are out in force.
