@BarryAndrewsMEP Keep banging those war drums Barry.
Id say you're raging your party leader refuses to send men back home to the front.

@MichealLehane If RTE had a euro for every time Michael, Harris or McEntee made empty statements like this, you'd be well on your way to recouping the €20 million Patrick O Donovan left you short.

Current EU Rules require Ukrainians seeking temporary protection in Europe to have satisfied their military obligations or have an exemption.

Does Zelensky want people who have not met their obligations to be sent home from the EU and Ireland to be consubscripted?

@OTregub Every other day she tells us that she's been to Brussels or Strasbourg like it means something.
It doesn't.
Most normal people watching this will be thinking, who do i hate more?
Her or the host Shane Coleman.

This man is a total charlatan. That’s why Corbyn wiped the floor with him years ago. He came back pretending to be something radically different but in essence is just a typical neoliberal Blairite prick.

Whilst the Gov wine and dine over the next two days the @ChildRightsIRL is on morning Ireland telling us how there’s been a 30% increase in child homelessness over the past two years.

Will @MichealMartinTD be speaking on this in the convention Center?

@wereontheditch Excellent work by the Ditch serious questions need answered.

Was the Household income cap breached?

Was the House undervalued?

Did Simon advise them of the scheme’s parameters?

Just for starters

I want to see the files on the massive Mossad operation to install sock-puppet headline writers in all the major Western papers.

Obviously they consider it a crucial part of their ability to get away with crime.

@TonightVMTV Irish people might be embarrassing themselves?
I don't think she realises from her high horse that the average person doesn't give two fucks about what's happening at these meetings.
People are too busy trying to make ends meet.

Its always good to hear a wealthy persons opinion on how poor people should be treated. Is there any chance @virginmedia and @rte could get a few new faces on these panel shows.

Jeepers, The Ditch appear to be implicitly accusing the parents (Barty and Mary Harris below around 2005) of FG leader and Tanaiste Simon Harris, of defrauding the state-backed mortgage-to-rent scheme, and further, claim the Harrises will be enriched to the tune of €233,000 (€600k minus €367k) if they buy back their home in 2027. Oh, and Simon Harris brother, the incredibly lucky Adam is in the mix there too!

Should be said, the murkiest implications from The Ditch report today rest on the documented address provided by Adam Harris in 2021/2 which Ditch claims is the same as the parent's property, but Adam is not answering questions, and specifically if the documented address he officially gave to the authorities was correct.

There are also questions for the Mortgage-to-Rent company Home for Life (backed at the time by state-owned AIB) which paid €367,000 for the 4-bed dormer bungalow in July 2022, despite the fact the property is said to have been on the market for €490,000 in Oct 2019 (CSO national house price index Oct 2019... 108.9, index in July 2022...132.1 which suggests the property was worth nearly €600,000 in 2022). The valuation of the property at below €450,000 in July 2022 enabled it to be covered by the State-backed mortgage-to-let scheme.

Why did the mortgage company in 2022 agree to a sale price of €367,000 for a property apparently worth substantially more?

Home for Life which bought the property for €367,000 is not answering questions, which in private individual terms you can understand, but they need to make a statement about the principles.

It appears to have been an incredibly cushty deal for the Harrises facilitated by Wicklow County Council, and if Adam Harris was indeed living in the property at the time earning over €38,500 then the parents weren't, on the face of it, eligible for the mortgage-to-rent scheme at all.

And of course in July 2022, Simon Harris was a Cabinet minister on more than €200,000 in salary & expenses, his brother Adam was on around €60-70k at autism charity AsIAm. Could they not have bailed out the parents?

Popcorn time... (good work by Ditch). Do we know the mortgage company in July 2022? (apols, don't have access to Land Direct this evening).
