"We do have to collect taxes to fund public services": Tánaiste Simon Harris has defended the fact that over half of motor fuel prices are pure Government tax, arguing that "we have to take in a certain amount of taxation to run the country":
@IrishmanIRL Would RTE€ ever show that clip or ask her in for an interview on the news I doubt it and by the way Kevin Bakhurst got a € 20,00 wage increase from the government this week and I wonder why?
@IrishmanIRL How in god's name is she even allowed into Leinster house, If I'm correct I think she got in from Mehole Martin giving her the nomination so that says enough then... FFS.
This is extraordinary.
On the SAME week Minister Patrick O'Donovan calls for a review into media coverage of the protests...he signs off on a €20k pay rise for @kevinbakhurst
Anyone have a tractor in South Dublin?
I have an idea where you should park it.
EDDIE HOBBS: In Ireland, farmers, truckers, and bus drivers have literally closed the country. They are blocking streets protesting government taxes on fuel, saying they can't take it anymore.
The actual legitimacy of the state is being tested by the people.
@RealEddieHobbs
@TonightVMTV@naoiseoc My god they really are clutching at any excuses now and they MSM keep it up but don't care about who is actually the majority and have had enough.... and Save the Diesel lads campaign and park up as it's cheaper to sit than drive and that's a fact.
@punishablepress Fuel, bread, milk and etc and all associated with fuel costs but they said ohh we gave €250 million 2 weeks ago but all they did was that we paid less tax in the ⛽...AHH come on .. they really think we are stupid but not anymore...
@rtenews We tried with peaceful protests and they didn't care about it and fair play to all who are saving diesel parked up and men o& women of Ireland it's about time.
More power to those in protest of the extortionate taxes and costs being hoisted upon the people of Ireland by its rogue government!
WE DO NOT COMPLY WITH THIEVES!
We stand with the farmers and the hauliers and all those standing up against the constant attacks on our livelihood!
This theft of the Irish worker WILL END NOW!
Ireland’s money is for Ireland’s people! 🇮🇪
BREAKING!
Taoiseach Micheál Martin says -
"The protests at the moment are wrong and not conducive to cohesion within our society."
The man who ran Ireland into the ground and destroyed social cohesion is complaining about peaceful protest.
This is the way these aplorabe Islamastic lunatics are going to get retribution on Western society after murdering 30 thousand of their own citizens and the UK stands ideally bye with an cretion of a P.m ..It is WW3 and we don't really recognise it , but in a different way.
@Mattallwright you are a total disgrace with your comments to that young lady about Crow borough, wow disgusting and any respect I had for you for your work on Watchdog is gone... furious with you...
@Keir_Starmer It's difficult which way to laugh or cry whenever he opens his mouth, I really feel sorry for everyone in the UK as to why ye are putting up with him and his corrupt party... I'm afraid England is almost finished as a Nation.....too long to explain but it's so obvious to all.
