@caulmick@ciananbrennan@irishexaminer Irish people would want to grow up on shit like this. €30k is fuck all for a diplomatic trip. There is serious waste of government spending but this isn't it

@paulmurphy_TD 2nd highest minimum wage in Europe behind only Luxembourg. Has a direct impact on businesses being able to higher staff and cost of living.
Apprenticeships are learning a skill. We don't pay people to attend college
@Keyes@higginsdavidw I am sorry to say you have cherry picked out peers. A more accurate comparison would be to EU countries as we have the same design standards

@DavQuinn Britain had a net migration of -117,000 in 2025 so I am not sure what you are comparing to. Also the number you are quoting is April 2025 to April 2026 not in the year to April.
There are valid points to be made on migration in Ireland but they should be based on facts
