Stupidly?
Selfishly. Nefariously. Corruptly. Immorally.
A white boy who plays GAA steals €84,000 from tax payers and he gets a suspended sentence and a narrative of “oh he was saving for a house”.
The law in Ireland only really applies if you’re undesirable to the FFG elites.

@TomMurp22 @CareyBrian women can avoid the responsibility of parenthood, on their terms.. but a man can be forced to have the financial responsibility of parenthood, also on the woman’s terms..
sounds fair..

The rule requiring women to wait before choosing an abortion is just one manifestation of the misogynistic paternalism that is rife in almost all medical institutions.

The Social Democrats will today introduce a bill aimed at updating Ireland's abortion laws, especially to ensure that women do not need to travel abroad to terminate a pregnancy. jrnl.ie/7025791

@biffo_32 @CareyBrian Ok that’s grand biffo..I also want the right to have no financial obligations if she keeps the baby
English
@CareyBrian when it comes to abortion, men are told to sit down and shut up because the decision belongs to the woman, and the woman alone…
a man’s consumer right’s are therefore irrelevant in this case

Saw an agri contracting guy there posting on FB about halting that side of his operations. V sad until he quotes Trump in his sign-off. Actually name-checks Trump. These people are crazy. Like as much as I have no time for Martin or Harris, root cause is naked imperialism.

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?

Farming and haulage groups have been told this afternoon the Government does have a package of supports ready, but it will not be announced until the blockade is lifted.

Who are these 4 'leaders' of the #fuelprotest out of interest and how did they get to this supposed leadership position 🤔

@BrigidLaffan @Gill_Murphy Didn’t have a problem with it during lockdowns though. Idiot
English
@Gill_Murphy So you don’t think that preventing people from medical appointments is more than an inconvenience. Says everything
English
Sending in the army to a peaceful protest will backfire. Or are they looking to escalate things on purpose in order to paint the protestors in a bad light now that they are gaining more and more support from the public? 🤔 #fuelprotest

@GarethNotGarth I’ll reprogramme your stimulator with a box if you want?
English
When I started attending the pain clinic about 5 years ago it was €140 for an appointment. Have a read to the end of this txt to see what Ireland has become. I will have to cancel this now as I simply can’t afford it, despite the fact I need my stimulator reprogrammed.

I sincerely hope there won't be a death attributed to the disruption this week

A managemet meeting of the HSE Mid West this morning heard it is taking some staff up to six hours to make it to and from work as a result of fuel protests. The meeting heard journeys are taking four and six hours, rather than the “usual 30 minutes”. jrnl.ie/7007558

Time to call it off, it has gone too far

Organiser John Dallon says blockades & protests will end if Government agrees to meeting ‘today or tomorrow’ ‘Government rather than protesters are to blame for shutting Dublin’ & he says earlier comments from Ministers were ‘disrespectful’ Delegation of 4 ready for any meeting

@ismisemichelle_ I feel like that walking around north inner city Dublin with all the diversity

In 2024 the Irish state spent about €5 billion on overseas aid, housing refugees and aiding Ukraine. It’s a lot of money, but not huge out of a then national budget of €110 billion.
