In 1987 Ray Bourke, the corrupt Fianna Fáil minister sold out the entire nation of Irish people.
He gave away all our natural resources. The net effect is that big oil companies:
• Owns 100% of the oil and gas they find under Irish waters;
• pay no royalties to the Irish State;
• can write off 100% of their costs to tax;
• profits taxed at 25% (international average is 68% );
• can export it outside Ireland;
• can choose whether or not to sell the gas back to Bord Gáis at full market rates.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse outcome.
We need leaders who actually love Ireland and will get our oil back.
New terms will be agreed.

De enorme Ierse volksopstand wegens de onhoudbare brandstofprijzen wordt - op dringend verzoek? - bij ons keurig buiten de berichtgeving van de mainstream media gehouden. Want stel je toch eens voor dat het naar het Europese continent overslaat. https://t.co/ANi257cDo6
