RTÉ is trying to obscure the reality that 38% of TV licences are not being paid and there is an enormous boycott campaign underway across Ireland.
The TV licence should be scrapped as a regressive indirect tax that hits working people hardest while the richest sit on billions.
Huge support for paramedics and ambulance workers going on strike on Monday, and a lot of anger against the government.
The Red Network is fighting for a society run by workers for workers, not rich politicians and bureaucrats.
This woman is right to be angry.
She is right that the Ukrainian who was given housing, generous social payments and benefits that included putting her daughter through Trinity was given extraordinary privileges over the native Irish...but it's important to put the blame where it belongs - on Fine Gael and Fianna Fail's shoulders.
Now that the government is beginning to realise its handling of international protection (and broader legal mass immigration) over the past decade was negligent, they will be more than happy for people to point the finger of blame elsewhere. This is the tried and tested FF/G routine - always deflect blame.
Many Ukrainians are scammers. Many came to Ireland because they shopped around and saw it had the best benefits - they do not get a pass - but it is the government who is ultimately responsible for ensuring Irish people do not get scammed. It is the government who is meant to put its own people first and protect their interests.
FF/G need to be held to account. They have sold Irish people out at every turn for decades and when sensible people warned them of the chaos they were fomenting, they labelled them 'far right'.
No negotiations, no 150th chance, FF/G have to go for Ireland to survive as a nation.

A Canadian firm is applying for a licence to strip vast quantities of seaweed from the west of Irelands coastline.
As an interesting aside, this is banned in Canada, the country with the world’s largest coastline, for environmental reasons.

The new supply of rental properties advertised in Dublin.
These are investor assets not homes. €3,050 per month for a 1 bed apartment! €4,500 for a two bed...
And the Government gives them tax breaks and under new rules will allow them increase rent to market rent
Happy to be supporting Ruth Coppinger's Bill to ban fox hunting.
The Dáil will vote on this on 17 December, the first time in history a ban has been proposed on it.
This is not a "rural pursuit", it's animal cruelty pure and simple.

Any Irish TD voting confidence in Simon Harris today is putting themselves and his lies and inaction ahead of the people, and saying they approve of mere children left to die in the worst agony because of laziness and incompetence. And they will. With zero accountability. Again.
