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…)

Stop blaming colonialism for the persistent failures of most African countries.
Their destitution stems overwhelmingly from the choices of their own leaders (and people).
Corrupt governance, dysfunctional institutions, extractive policies, and cultural patterns undermine property rights, rule of law, and long-term investment.

🚨 THIS IS HUGE! Orbán’s blockade is over, Péter Magyar backs €90bn in EU aid for Ukraine.
Magyar just announced that Hungary will no longer block the EU’s €90 billion support package for Ukraine, signaling a clear return to the European line.
At the same time, Budapest will focus on unlocking €17 billion in frozen EU funds instead of taking on new debt.
Finally Europe can work again! 🇪🇺

Racist laws in South Africa are evil and the politicians that push these are shameful, disgusting people

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

BTW, a new Scania tractor unit will be somewhere in the range of €130-€180,000 (more if higher spec). So with the trailers Beirne has well over €0.5m in equipment sitting there in that picture. Thats not a struggling business. Thats a rent seeker.

The blocking of the distribution of fuel is a sinister and despicable attack on our economy and our society. This is not a lawless country. The laws of the land must and will be applied without fear.
