This one of the most insane things an economist has ever posted in Ireland. The assumption that a "two-income couple" would need to purchase 1000 litres of diesel isn't based on anything in real life where the people who need to purchase large amounts of diesel are contractors in road haulage, agricultural contracting and related areas. These people are using diesel to do important work in the economy which will otherwise not be done or will be made so prohibitively expensive that they will have to pass on massive price rises throughout the economy. The income of a two-income family with comfortable public sector job with guaranteed pay rises and income stability has no bearing on a small business such as a self-employed lorry driver whose profit margin just disappeared a month ago due to fuel price rises. The lorry driver is in a position where he is not making any money and will have to sell his lorry. Totally different worlds.
David W. Higgins@higginsdavidw

Diesel has suddenly become less affordable in Ireland. A two-income couple could once afford >1,000 litres per week, now it's 878. Despite this, we are the second most affordable in the EU and we haven't yet fallen below the EU average from one year ago. The extra 10 cent off diesel has yet to be reflected in this data. Spain, often compared to Ireland is much less affordable because of lower average wages. Poland, despite cutting VAT, is still an expensive place when you compare local diesel prices to local net wages (less taxes and transfers). Malta, even with diesel capped at €1.21 / litre, doesn't beat us on affordability. Wages matter hugely in this debate.

I have noticed a considerable uptick from communists and socialists attempting entryism recently. Some attempts are more subtle than others but I am choosing to highlight this one as it is a more blatant example of the practice. The move here was to use a quote from Connolly, and then set up a false binary where nationalism without socialism is unfinished or incomplete, leaving the nationalist with two options, either accept socialism as a condition of his own nationalism, or be cast as a lesser heir to the tradition. This trick only works if you accept their framing that nationalism and socialism are just two parallel political ideologies of equal rank that need each other to be whole. They aren’t. Nationalism isn’t a competing economic doctrine. It’s the frame inside which economic questions get answered. It asks one question before all others, does this serve the Irish nation and her people? Every policy, every economic tool, every tradition stands or falls by that test. Socialism, distributism, protectionism, free enterprise, etc., all of them are instruments. The nation is not. It is the entity that should be served by those instruments. Socialism by contrast is internationalist by design. They preach about “workers of the world” while ignoring the workers of Ireland. The moment you put political or economic ideology above the national question instead of below it, you’ve inverted the whole order and the nation becomes something that is negotiable. Which is the entire point of the entryism. The goal is to get nationalists to treat their nationhood as one half of a synthesis or ideology rather than the supreme governing principle around which the state should be ordered. The Irish nationalist tradition is far older, far broader and far deeper than just one wing of 1916. It runs through Pearse, Griffith, the Gaelic League, and the ordinary Irish people of our towns and parishes. Connolly is one voice in that tradition, not the apex of it. That tradition certainly doesn’t belong to the modern Irish left who have spent decades operating as foot soldiers who serve the interests of global capital, walking in lockstep with corporations on every major social issue. They gleefully advocated for the importation of a replacement workforce that undercut the wages of Irish workers because those people are “workers of the world” according to their beliefs. They objected to the calls to ring-fence property ownership for Irish people in the midst of a housing crisis. They smeared anyone who said our tax money should be spent exclusively on our own people as racist. They take funding from the very interests they pretend to oppose, read from the script those interests write, and then call anyone who objects to this arrangement a fascist. The left has no right to lecture Irish people on labour while backing every policy that crushed the Irish worker they claim to care so much about. A new nationalist movement is being built in this country, and it is being built without individuals like this and their subversive ideology. It will have its own answers on labour, on land, on family, on industry, drawn from our own tradition and judged by one standard only, does it serve the Irish nation and her people? Connolly will have his place in it. So will Pearse, Griffith, Clarke, and every single member of our patriot dead who spent their lives putting the interests of the Irish people before themselves. There is no place in it for people who bastardise their legacy while serving any ideology or interests that undermine the Irish people. The nation comes first. Everything else is downstream.
Owen Buchanan 🇮🇪🇵🇸☭@EireGalloglaigh

No true Irish nationalist or Republican can avoid the call of Irish labour. No true Irish socialist can avoid the call of the nation. Anyone who claims to be one without the other is simply in the process of becoming both, or neither.

We want * a meeting with the government as the situation is likely to destroy or severely impact several sectors of the economy within months - the government ignored them * the 12 academic articles you wrote and edited published IMMEDIATELY! - they were retracted "Review of this submission was overseen, and the final decision was made, by the Editor Brian Lucey, despite his role as a co-author of the manuscript," it continues. "This compromised the editorial process and breached the journal’s policies." Economic and ethics advise from you is a bit of a bad omen for all involved. Sit this one out, sweetie. retractionwatch.com/2026/01/08/fin…

We want * cheap fuel - we cut supplies * Ireland for the Irish - our family are migrants * FFFG gone - we keep voting for them * LAW AND ORDER - not directed to us. Did I miss anything from the protesters demands?

Economic globalisation was always foretold to cause these problems. The left used to be the primary opponents of this destructive form of liberalism which dissolves nations and makes them entirely dependent on the large economic interests and institutions that manage this system. You can see very clearly how the modern left has been entirely reconstructed as a movement which predominantly upholds this form of economic exploitation and destruction. All the pally flags, lgbt and anti-racism distracts them from the real impact of unchecked economic globalisation. They have no problem with Ireland importing all of its food and of our own indigenous people being replaced by a society of coolies imported from the former colonies to live in accommodation owned by hedgefunds. In fact, they cheer on this process, attacking their own working classes and skilled artisans on behalf of the European Commission and World Bank. As someone who remembers vividly the Seattle World Trade Organisation protests of the 1990s this has been an extraordinary thing to witness.

A government that extorts its farmers and burdens them with crushing costs just to grow food is pure evil. A cabal of tyrants who deliberately starve their own people.

Ireland has one of the highest rates of death by drug overdoes in Europe, deaths of despair. This is what @GovIE have engineered here, they allow mi6 control the drugs trade in this country via running the kinahans and the like. Show this chart to the "progressives'" when they're

Over the last week I have been informed by the 'left' that these men are actually not working class grafters at all. No, believe it or not they are the capitalist oppressors and the real working class are sociologist professors on 80k a year doing a twenty hour a week gig lecturing on queer antiracism in 20th century Bristol. Good to know.

Amazing that the Irish Pussy Riot is so against Orban, the man that the US Department of State has tried to get rid of for a decade. Fascinating stuff the more you think about it.

@ColmanOfGuaire It is patently obvious that the immigration support and virulent antiracism seen in libs is a learned behaviour of social climbers. Most are just empty heads and cannot even defend their views beyond moralising and hysterics but they know what is expected.

Material self interest is a big factor in the facilitation of infinity immigration, but to say it's the only factor would be vulgar Marxism - even coming from the right. There's also a perceived emotional self-interest or neurosis - the fear of being shunned by the lib tribe.

This is like when people think that billionaires just have a wad of cash or a bank account with their exact net worth in it. I suppose the Ukrainian dictatorship you support works that way but in Ireland many of those machines are worth far less than that and are all bought with loans regardless. All small businesses have cash flow problems and many will go out of business due to fuel prices which have been driven very high by the actions of the other flags in your schizophrenic bio. You won't care obviously as long as the wads of cash continue to be laundered to the Kiev regime to buy holiday homes and bugattis. I've never seen a begrudging layabout who didn't hate farmers. You should be grateful though as due to the subsidisation of farming you can afford all those lovely calories to fill your fat ass with on the couch.

Most of the tractors in that video cost between €150,000 and €200,000. That's no poor farmers protest. Living in Louth 20 years, I've never seen a poor farmer. They have the best land on the planet with the highest yields around the Boyne valley 🧐

The Burkean
The Burkean@TheBurkeanIE·
The Irish Times op-ed pages have long enjoyed the rare distinction of irritating both left and right, largely through its habit of quietly importing the anxieties of British securocrats and repackaging them as native concerns. From ritualised scoldings about Ireland’s allegedly scandalous reluctance to fund a navy for imaginary armadas, to the perennial hysteria over subsea cables and the moral instruction manual on Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Old Lady of D’Olier Street has become less a paper of record than a laundromat for imported security narratives even for the tankies at the Phoenix. Into this well-tilled soil steps Institute for Strategic Dialogue “analyst” @ciaranoconnor, who gamely attempts to attribute recent Irish haulier unrest to that most improbable of puppet-masters: Tehran. The Irish “far right,” perennially cast variously as the sock puppets of American capitalism, McQuaid-era Catholic reaction, Ulster loyalism, Brexit Britain, the Kremlin, and Elon Musk, can now apparently add the ayatollahs to their crowded list of imaginary employers. theburkean.ie/articles/2026/…

@kratefus9 I hear you. I just don't want to see decent men being abused like this. This will have a big impact on FFG support for sure and that is a great thing.

@PetersReceipts I dont want him to get the Taoiseach to cop on. The longer protesters are disrespected the more they and their friends will be likely to VOTE against fffg. Protests have been great for showing how many people are sick of fffg but we need people to organize to vote them out.

I'll lay it out for you quickly, Michael. The ignorance or the establishment in not engaging these men weeks ago caused this to happen. You are cut from the same cloth as this shower and that is why you defend this abusive political policing, just as it was in Ulster. If you saw this in Hungary or Russia you would be saying it was fascism. If you saw it in the north of this country you'd ignore it and when you see it in the Republic you enter into legal dissembling and 'law and order' talk like a good little barrister. That is why you will get no respect from people anymore. If you think the Ulsterisation of this country through using the police and army to defend incompetent and obnoxious politicians who are clearly not fit for office represents some great achievement for the State you are in for a rude awakening. The more the corrupt legal system of toffs goes after these men the more they will be lionised. I'd suggest you pick up the phone to the clown called Taoiseach and tell him to cop on.
Michael McDowell@SenatorMcDowell

No. I can’t picket your house or impede your access to it as a protest. There is a constitutional right to peaceful assembly subject to public order. That does not include preventing other persons from exercising their rights or being disorderly in a manner that interferes with the rights of others to go to work, to move freely across the state or to conduct their lawful business.
