€66.7 MILLION of your money.

You paid it at the till on bottles and cans. You never got it back.

Now the private operator Re-turn is sitting on it and says it's "not required" to tell you where it goes or what the bosses are paid.

Not good enough. I won't let it drop.

[243Cal 🇮🇪 @243_cal]

Deeply disingenuous of @rtenews to blame "Ireland's reliance on fossil fuels" for highest electricity prices in Europe when China relies on 79.9% oil, gas, coal.
(Ireland: 81.3% oil, gas, coal)
🇨🇳 price per KwH 00.75c
🇮🇪 price per KwH 40.42c
We're being robbed blind and lied to.

[Peadar Tóibín TD @Toibin1]

Aontú research has shown that hundreds of millions of euro of carbon tax is just going into the state coffers, not into Carbon reducing supports, as the government claims.

The government is Carbon tax gouging people in an energy crisis.

"Tell them we just dropped €40 million on Ukraine, but we can't afford to cut carbon taxes. Try not to laugh while you do it."

[Mountain Man @fearonsliabh]

@Nick_Delehanty The Barryroe Field south of Cork has PROVEN oil reserves of 320 million barrels. Enough for ALL Ireland’s energy needs for 5 years and plenty of gas too. Eamonn Ryan stopped us from drilling it. Norway offered expertise.
We are led by idiots.

Now you can see who is actually robbing Irish families and businesses at the petrol and diesel pumps; the government.

[Peadar Tóibín TD @Toibin1]

I asked Harris a year ago, how many children were taken off scoliosis waiting lists without their parents knowing.

The gov still doesn't know.

€11.6m was provided in January to help children go abroad for operations.

There are no children scheduled for operations abroad.

The Govt has published its Q2 Purchase Order for the Dept of Children.

Total Spend in 3 months: €417.68M
Below are the Top 20 companies:

Cape Wrath Hotel (City West): €15,234,363.45
Guestford Ltd: €11,346,350.93
Mosney Holidays Plc: €9,742,023.95
Holiday Inn Dublin Airport (Skyline) €8,929,568.99
The D Hotel (Fairkeep): €7,320,000.02
Bridgestock Care Limited: €6,695,101.32
Trailhead Unlimited Company: €6,469,791.06
Kintrona Ltd: €6,333,280.00
Carnbeg Hotel and Spa: €5,751,750.00
Heronwell Unlimited Company: €5,534,837.00
Brava Capital Ltd: €5,528,748.13
Travelodge Hotels (Smorgs Roi): €5,440,140.39
Didean Dochas Eireann Teoranta: €5,151,933.00
Igo Cafe Limited: €4,903,345.61
Brimwood Unlimited: €4,885,311.00
Allpro Security Services Ireland Ltd: €4,694,769.19
Fazyard Ltd Nos 1 and 2: €4,439,969.70
Jma Ventures Limited: €4,033,545.00
Transboil Ltd: €4,024,780.00
Gateway Integration Unlimited: €3,910,000.00

These top 20 account for €130.37m or 31.2% of all spend.

Companies with known links to Banty McEnaney have been paid at least ~€13.5million - putting him just behind City West as biggest beneficiary.

Keep in mind:
there are 40,000 children on creche waiting places.

The majority of these companies operate with 50%+ net profit margins within complex tax-efficient structures to avoid paying as little tax as possible.

Of particular note is "Didean Dochas Eireann Teoranta" a company set up to purchase single houses across the midlands to provide own door accommodation. The houses it buys with tax payers money do not belong to the State. Instead they are held by an Isle of Man company. They compete in the market directly against first time buyers and ordinary tax payers. WILD.

I will never stop calling this out.

If I come across that Aldi family I’m going to shove that picnic right up there h**ls

[Susanne Delaney @SuzieD755164]

This is the registered address in Spain (a rundown apartment) of a 3 month old "business" (valued at 120 euro) that has just been awarded a €20 million Irish state IPAS contract (taxpayers money).

Tell me there's nothing dodgy about this.
Tell me there's nothing to see here.
I dare you.
