Dúisigh, a mhuintir na hÉireann, agus seas an fód ar son ár gcultúir 🇮🇪 Love to wind up leftists from time to time.

FATIMA GUNNING: Contrast the political and activist levels of grief and outrage over the death of Alex Coughlan with the death of Yves Sakila, and you’d get the impression that some lives matter more than others.

@Independent_ie Thousands of lives have been saved as a result of this

@BADONICUS @rtenews @griptmedia What isn’t far right according to you?

[Concerned Chap @ConcernedChap]

@Ben_Scallan Not my views but often what I see on the other side of the argument.

[Concerned Chap @ConcernedChap]

@Ben_Scallan Main arguments are
• The 1983 vote failed to settle the issue.
• Caused 35 years of distress for pregnant women, many forced to travel abroad
• It trapped Ireland in legal uncertainty and life or death court cases.
• Writing a moral stance into the constitution

Thoughts?

@TappingGoddess He’s not trying to control anything. What he’s really saying is that women, overall, need greater support, especially from men. What wrong with that?

@tsjatismewat @Ireland_Votes @ireland_thinks @TheSundayIndo Right wing populist and conservative but I’m sure they describe themselves as a common sense party focused on holding this government to account which is also true.

@hallelujahjorda @AontuIE I’m recently graduated. Left Ireland in order to save money before returning. I’ll be sending a video.

@HMcEntee Can you not use your words?

9. The govt can’t keep heaping carbon taxes, excise and regulatory burdens on a sector that feeds the country while claiming the EU cheque makes it all fine.

[Concerned Chap @ConcernedChap]

This idiot 🧵

1. Wages are irrelevant when the input cost is the same global oil price but our government adds a far heavier tax burden. Spain and Ireland buy oil at roughly the same wholesale price. The difference is our exist, VAT and carbon tax on top.

[David W. Higgins @higginsdavidw]

The fuel debate has several economic and data sins at once:
❌ Comparing Spain fuel prices to Ireland without comparing wages
❌ Sharing the % of taxes on diesel before the March 25th excise cut (now a lower %)
❌ Thinking farmers are hit by headline diesel prices (they pay much lower taxes on marked gas oil).
❌ Claiming farmers are going out of business by taxes. They are (rightly) in receipt of massive EU subsidies so food is affordable for all households.

[Concerned Chap @ConcernedChap]

8. They aren’t massive if they’re the only thing keeping farmers afloat. The protest is not “we hate subsidies” it’s “the cost base is rising faster than any subsidy can compensate”

They’re becoming prop in an unviable sector for some.
