@thejournal_ie I do believe that for most schools this is a complete waste of piblic money.

The Hot School Meals programme should be rolled out to post-primary schools as a matter of “urgent priority”, according to a new report by an Oireachtas committee. jrnl.ie/6995054

The Ditch can reveal that Ireland’s most secretive military unit trained with American special forces days before the US began bombing Iranian schoolgirls.
The Green Berets were deployed this month to the Middle East as part of the US-Israeli war.

@LOCthedreamer2 Yes Imagine the Irish media publishing negative stories about rape. Terrible that.
English

Imagine the Irish newspapers printed as many negative stories about this man as they do about Conor Mc Gregor.
Crazy how the media are able to craft a narrative.

A 24-year-old man said he stabbed a garda and set the Black Forge pub in Dublin on fire last year as a message to the Government and to the pub's owner Conor McGregor not to insult the Prophet Muhammad rte.ie/news/courts/20…

BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WITCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

@pyjamas_black You can tell a lot about a man from the supporters he attracts!

Is Trump the most pagan president America has ever had?

@tjmcgibnxy @DavidMarra @Tomcastlehume And feel free to point out anything inaccurate that I posted.

I have to earn around €100 to buy €17.50 worth of fuel…
David Marra@DavidMarra
As if the 51% income tax I’m paying wasn’t enough, I’ve just given the bastards another €92. The Irish government has essentially no redeeming qualities
English

@DavidMarra @tjmcgibnxy @Tomcastlehume Yes agree on the above, and no matter how much you earn, at no point in your salary should the state take more than half.
English

@tjmcgibnxy @TPMC67 @Tomcastlehume In any event, the minutae of tax bands is irrelevant. The pertinent point is that we pay too much tax generally, too much tax on fuel specifically, with too many people paying no (income) tax at all, and that the Irish govt is addicted to perpetual increases in wasteful spending.
English

@tjmcgibnxy @DavidMarra @Tomcastlehume At no point in the tax system is the maginal rate 51%. For someone on 50k it is slightly more than 47%. For someone on 70k it is slightly more than 52% so it depends on your salary. The total tax take is significantly less for most.
English

@TPMC67 @DavidMarra @Tomcastlehume 51% is the marginal rate of income tax, PRSI and USC once credits and the 20% tax band are exhausted.
This isn't remotely complicated.
English

@Brian130946711 @GerOnSport @DavidMarra @Tomcastlehume Someone on 40k pays about 16% in all income related taxes. The 40% tax band kicks in at € 44k for a single person.
English

@GerOnSport @DavidMarra @Tomcastlehume Anyone earning over €40k in Ireland a year is paying 51% tax(income tax/usc/prsi) at the headline rate. It’s a mathamatical certainty
English

@DavidMarra @Tomcastlehume A person on € 250k pays pays about 45% of that in income tax, PRSI and USC. Not sure where you're getting 51% from. No need to exaggerate, we pay enough tax as it is!
English

@Tomcastlehume Really? €100 gross pay less 51% = €49 in my pocket. Spend that €49 on fuel which is ca 65% tax and I’m left with €17.15 for the actual fuel. The other €82.85 is PRSI, USC, VAT, CO2 and excise. Unless your maths worth differently, of course.
English

@eoghan314441 @culladgh Thanks but not really doing anything for my income tax, USC and PRSI deductions every month. I'll look into the bike work scheme while I'm at it!
English

@eoghan314441 @culladgh I pay enough in tax already thanks. Just thought you'd know at least one loophole since acording to you, most higher rate tax payers are availing of them. I feel like I'm missing out!
English

@eoghan314441 @culladgh I am also a PAYE worker but you claim there are tax loopholes available....please advise.

@EmmaKCoates Pure race baiting....nothing else. But a devout Christian apparantly.

@eoghan314441 @culladgh Apart from pension contributions please provide some examples of these tax loopholes. I also earn about 150k and would love to know!
