The findings of the Household Energy Price Index for Europe show that the operation of a large number of data centres in this country were driving up prices for households.

Government urged to act after second report confirms Ireland has highest electricity prices in EU https://t.co/MaJlo4jgpG

Re-Turn is the scam that keeps on scamming.

Fine Gael councillor was hired by Re-Turn to lobby a Fine Gael Minister to remove 23% VAT on the unclaimed bottles!!

The councillor previously worked for the PR company Teneo whose client is ReTurn.

ReTurn is sitting on €100m after just one year but they’re still not happy. They wanted tax exemptions on top.

A humiliation gravy train.

Ireland now the most expensive country in the EU for electricity https://t.co/KkWxXYP6CT

[Paddy Cosgrave @paddycosgrave]

When something is the most expensive in the EU, it usually means it’s also the most profitable in the EU for the handful of cronies who have rigged a given market.

In this case electricity. Insurance in Ireland of course is the same and so and so on across so many sectors.

The flip side of the rip off republic for most people is the profit printing republic for a tiny, greedy cabal.

The enablers of the gouging of almost everyone in Ireland has been Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

FFG pretend to represent the upper middle classes, but in reality they are a front group for a tiny, grubby, greedy elite.

FFG have very carefully and very deliberately rigged housing, insurance, electricity, infrastructure and more to legally rob billions from the pockets of working people and transfer it largely tax free into the offshore bank accounts of a tiny crony cartel.

Until people remove FFG from office little will change.

Oh and FYI this crony cabal of Irish and foreign elites and their henchmen are busy funding various opposition groups in Ireland like the far right, along with their various propaganda tanks. Why? With what aim? To get working people fighting amongst themselves. Divide and conquer.

Heaven forbid too many Irish people realise that the real enemy is a depraved crony cartel. Heaven forbid people unify and start punching up against a greedy and corrupt elite. That might actually lower electricity prices, and reduce profits of the super rich. 👀

Until then, as Marie Antoinette once said, “let them live in sheds”.

FORMER Fianna Fáil TD Marc MacSharry lobbied the Government on four separate occasions on behalf of a construction firm co-owned by the convicted criminal he gave a character reference for in court, the Irish Mail on Sunday can reveal. ✍️@TheNewsHughes

Now the MoS can reveal Mr MacSharry lobbied senior figures in Government - including the Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Simon Harris and Housing Minister James Browne - on behalf of O'Connor's firm.

The contacts were made in relation to the zoning of land, planning regulations for new design standards for apartments..

300,000 Irish households are in arrears on electricity bills and nearly 180,000 behind on gas bills.

If we don’t do something immediately for Pensioners, people with disabilities, and social welfare recipients, many will be wiped out before we even get to winter⬇️

240,000 households to be hit with increase in electricity and gas prices - ✍️Charlie Weston

PrepayPower, which has 240,000 customer accounts, is to increase the price of its gas and electricity for customers from next month. It is the first energy supplier to announce a price hike since the war on Iran erupted, creating an energy crisis.

Why is Kerrygold butter 65% dearer in Kerry than it is in Berlin? -
✍️Conor Pope

The 454g size of Kerrygold in Ireland, meanwhile, sells for €4.99 across all the leading supermarkets. This equates to a per-kilo price of €10.99, still 38 per cent more expensive than the cost in Germany.

In 2016, then-Health Minister Leo Varadkar [@LeoVaradkar] famously stated that "short of an asteroid hitting the planet," the new National Children’s Hospital would be built by 2020.

Latest reports suggest the timeline for the opening of the National Children's Hospital has now been pushed out to 2027.

Meanwhile children suffer.

MINISTER UNDER PRESSURE OVER CANCER FALURES

HEALTH Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill is under pressure from Fine Gael backbenchers following revelations that 80% of the country's radiotherapy machines must be replaced. @muirisoc

Members of her party have previously been told by the Department of Health that seven-year-old machines were 'new' and wrongly informed that replacement schemes were under way.

Born into Homelessness

More than 100 mothers who gave birth at NMH last year were homeless or at risk of it -✍️ Ellen Coyne

Five pregnant women who were forced to sleep rough in Dublin last year were among more than 100 mothers who gave birth at the National Maternity Hospital (NMH) while either homeless or at risk of homelessness.

The NMH is one of three Dublin maternity hospitals. Both the Rotunda and the Coombe have also reported significant numbers of patients who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness.
