@higginsdavidw@NormaFoleyTD1@FineGael Because they need as mamy as possible of them to work or else productivity falls from where it is now...especially since its unlikely that female new arrivals will work
The absolute state of this.
We did not "fail to redeem" or "leave behind €60mil".
This scheme was foisted upon us.
Its a humiliation ritual for busy families.
It has caused chaos for local councils.
DCC now spends €600k+ to clean up Bin Raids.
What about the scheme's failed bid to get an exemption from paying VAT in unclaimed bottles? How they paid a Fine Gael councillor to lobby a Fine Gael Minister.
Re-Turn spends about €6million a year on advertising and PR.
What about the fact that bin collections now cost more?
Its a complete and utter scam.
Shut it down.
@HedgieMarkets Id say a good bit of this is that the Oracle UX is so dogshit that unless they give some sort of indication that they care they're down only
Have you ever used Oracle Fusion?
Wouldn't be surprised if it was listed as a specific reason for mental health issues for accountants😁
@EwanMacKenna Theyre in too deep now.
When it wraps up the scale of corruption will be massive and legacies of EU leaders destroyed. Thats why they keep it running at all costs
@0x445352 Interesting to know how they knew about it...the security forces I mean.
Id hate to hear it come out that they managed to convince her online or some shit
@IrishTimes Theyre all crooks...just that Trump openly does it doesnt make it right ofc...but you might aswell call out the hidden scams in our society that affect us and make our lives harder such as immigration
Ireland’s Childcare Crisis
A few facts:
Between 2020 and 2025, more than €8 billion was allocated to the Department of Children.
Most of this money went towards migrant hotels that operate at 50%+ profit margin.
Companies linked to Séamus “Banty” McEnaney and his family have reportedly received more than €300million.
Since 2016, Ireland’s last three Ministers for Children have not had children themselves.
The Govt promised to reduce full-time childcare fees to approximately €200 per month. Delivering that commitment is estimated to require an additional €300 to €500 million per year.
Ireland currently allocates approximately:
€1.5 billion a year to childcare
Which is half the amount, €3 billion, they allocate to asylum, refugee and Ukrainian-related accommodation and supports
Normal people have no idea how badly our finances are being run.
@Nick_Delehanty "Since 2016, Ireland’s last three Ministers for Children have not had children themselves."
Thats mental
If this was random the odds of this happening would be rare..
@rtenews Just think of the waste of resources
All the salaries of the politicians, their assistants etc etc...
While they could be working to improve our societies.
Its actually a fascinating period if you think about it
