@DaraghCassidy Great stuff from @Paschald

Ireland isn’t awful. There are lots of positive things about living here. And our quality of life is as high—if not higher—than many other European countries. But I don’t think any other country would have squandered c. €50 billion in excess corporation tax the way we have.

@RealDonKeith @daveatherton And we are importing these fine men by the thousands into Ireland

🚨Horrific footage show Nigerian Christians — men, women, and children — being clubbed to death by Muslims.

@eoinneylon Do you know how much we are paying Banty and friends every year? Start there.

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?

David McWilliams: Is Ireland the worst run country in Europe? How can we waste so much public money so quickly in so many ways? Has there ever been a country that has achieved so little from so much spending? irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

@whatyadoin4grub Just following orders, eh?

@_PeterRyan Now explain VRT to us Peter

Worthwhile facts. You don’t have to like them, but they are facts.

@Tobias_Smythe @EStreetPaulie @declanganley Cut the billion euro IPAS budget, there you go!

@EStreetPaulie @declanganley What services do you want to cut? Health? Welfare (mostly pensions) or shall we give up on education Or maybe ditch transport as that’s the current thing

A busy and skilled carpenter/tradesman from Galway made this observation to me this morning and it struck me as likely true. He said he believes regular people did not realise that the price of [fuel], at the pump was more than double what it should be due to taxes collected by the Irish government. He said even if he had heard it before, he would have dismissed it as an exaggeration. Now everyone realises what has been going on and they’re not going to agree to back down on the demand that it be cut. #FuelProtest

@Default69202648 Is this a thinly veiled dig at halal slaughter?

I think we can all agree left or right, that animal cruelty is intolerable.

@siliconbarry Do you understand that not everyone in Ireland is on Palo Alto salaries? Nobody cares who they are, they are messengers

who are these people?

@saloreilly Ireland can ignore the EU too….and charge VRT

Interesting that Spain and Poland can ignore EU and cut VAT on fuel to 10% and 8%! euractiv.com/news/eu-warns-…

@FineGael Helping what people?

The Government is spending nearly €4 million a day on helping people - and we will do more. There is no truth to opposition claims that the Government is making money from this crisis.

@VideosIrish @UlationSpeck

Sent more pics under the blanket with an immigrant

@higginsdavidw @gavreilly Can you ask Gavin to opine on VRT while he’s on about EU directives?

Some crucial observations by @gavreilly. A shame he isn't on this platform anymore.

@FineGael @SimonHarrisTD Is this moron the best FG have to offer?

Fine Gael understands the pressures that people are under. Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD is appealing to those blocking access to refineries and fuel depots to go home. We are working on supports but we need the blockade to end and our economy and society to function again.

@MarkLTighe Is this a VAT free article?

Fuel protest leader James Geoghegan has animal cruelty convictions and Revenue judgments irishtimes.com/crime-law/2026…

@paddyjogorman They’re trying to close the stable door long after the horse has bolted

I arrived back in Dublin on a flight from Istanbul this morning and Garda (police) immigration officers were in the tunnel, immediately as we were getting off plane, asking to see passports. I have never seen that happen before. What’s going on?

@NewstalkFM Indians

Westwood Gyms has said it has been forced to terminate memberships because ‘standards socially have lapsed’. newstalk.com/news/gyms-2252…

@Suffragent_ Seems like you guys urgently need to reintroduce capital punishment over there

This Welsh choirboy is Jeremy Oketch. He filmed himself raping a 2-year-old girl in the diverse nirvana of Manchester. The footage was so graphic it made the judge cry. The 35-year-old, who moved to the UK from Africa, was jailed for 15 years, costing the taxpayer £750k. 🇬🇧

@TheEconomist It wouldn’t be foolish at all.

Sending back masses of immigrants would be foolish and impossible economist.com/europe/2026/04…

@CorkGourmetGuy It appears you are either misinformed or don’t know what subsidised means 🫣

Remember that these farmers who are protesting about the cost of diesel at the garage forecourt are actually, even now, paying about €1.60 a litre for their already heavily subsidised diesel that your taxes are funding. #fuelprotests
