This clown 🤡 and his party sold Ireland to my crony finance pals in London and New York. Our new absentee landlords made & continue to make billions in profits, tax free, while a generation of Irish have gotten f**ked again by FFG. It’s called an FFG “recovery”!! 🤦‍♂️🙄🤮

In 1841 approx 60,000 Irish people signed an anti-slavery address composed by the Hibernian Anti-Slavery Society. It was addressed to the Irish American community. "Irishmen and Irishwomen! Treat the colored people as your equals, as brethren."

Leo’s happy to punch down on his so-called “welfare cheats” getting €350 a week, far below the living wage

But has nothing to say about private hospital owners getting €28 million a week, 400% more per bed than in the UK

Playing a blinder alright

When bankers bankrupted Ireland and needed tens of billions it was called a "sustainable bailout"

But when citizens mauled by a pandemic not of their making get just €8.75 an hour, far below the minimum wage, it's called an "unsustainable handout" which has to be cut

This will be like a bomb dropping on Dublin's commercial property sector. Maybe not a moment too soon!

Americans deserve a president who will listen to science and act decisively to mitigate the pandemic—not waste time, peddle fake cures, and wish it away.

What part of "Phase 1" says landlords can start evicting small family run businesses again?!

This is tragic at every level. We need to forge a consensus against surrogacy. Sad to think of these babies being denied the human touch of their mother, so important for bonding in the early days.

A pharmacist just let slip to me that she is buying disposable face masks for 63c. She said VAT has to be added. So that comes to 77c. The masks are selling for €2. I pointed out that is a huge mark-up. Are pharmacists not making enough money at the moment?

Ireland’s Finance Minister wants to cut Covid-19 emergency payments to citizens as “they cost too much”

Why not instead properly tax the wealthiest 400 Irish who have >€100 billion?

Or end tax exile status for billionaires?

Or close corporate tax loopholes?

I grew up in Rathnew in Wicklow, and used to hurl for Glenealy. If it turned out some lad had his hand in the till in the club, he'd be hoofed out

I'm a member of Ireland. All in, paid about €6 million in taxes last year. If you're hands in the till, you're getting hoofed out

I find it interesting that now that the coronavirus has hit the White House, Donald Trump is now suddenly a big supporter of testing.

In Denmark, starting pay at McDonald’s is about $22 an hour. The workers there get six weeks of paid vacation, a year’s paid maternity leave and a pension plan. Like all Danes, they enjoy universal medical insurance and paid sick leave. This is what a civilized society is about.
