@rte where is the U20s rugby? The link on RTÉ Player is showing the Scotland England game 🤔

@ParodyTimmy @Weldoninhio @meabhc ...the entire Corporate Tax take. Presumably I don't need to remind you that those are the Pharma and ICT companies - the ones that Tóibín wants to hobble by limiting their pool of available workers.

[Jemf531 @jemf531]

@ParodyTimmy @Weldoninhio @meabhc About a third of the entire tax take is Income Tax and about a quarter is Corporation Tax.

Almost 80% of Income Tax comes from 20% of workers. (Yes that's the ICT and Pharma workers Tóibín is so keen to get rid of).

Meanwhile 0.2% of corporations account for 80% of the...

@drsjcostello I don't think he needs O'Gorman's help to look like an idiot. Tóibín specifically stated he wanted to restrict immigration from the massive tax payers in the ICT and pharma sectors 😂

@Weldoninhio @meabhc Tóibín specifically cited ICT and pharma workers. He's a cretin.

@hagelslagen @RTEUpfront If Peadar Tóibín's plan to destroy Ireland's economy makes sense to you...

[Jemf531 @jemf531]

@Lorrain72208305 @RTEUpfront Yeah stopping those pesky ICT and pharma workers coming into this country and paying all that income tax.

With any luck we could make it so difficult for the companies that employ them to do business here they they'll f#*k off as well.

The fella is a genius really.

[Jemf531 @jemf531]

@Maurice31004480 @RTEUpfront You like his plan to destroy the economy? Interesting.

@davidmcw @martinwolf_ @FT Have you made the move to BlueSky yet? What's the handle?

This viral tweet and accompanying video is a textbook example of how racists distort and manipulate media to incite pile-ons.

Their target seems to be a lovely young woman but she isn't white and that's all the excuse these racists need.

Here's the truth behind the video: /1

@PromisChri6132 @ElmosUnderpants @GBNEWS No you're just continuing to demonstrate that you don't understand how the UK state operates, how the European Union operates, or how the (the unrelated) Council of Europe operates.

@Irishchutzpah "I condemn Hezbollah for its attacks on Israel and its malign role in Lebanon and the region."

Doesn't really get much clearer than that.

@TruthPulseReal Yes and I was pointing out that the government of Ireland isn't on the side of Iran. Neither is it on the side of Israel.

@TruthPulseReal ...adherence to international law, international human rights laws and conventions, and the institutions and structures that support those conventions. The nationality, religion and/ethnicity of any state in violation of those laws is irrelevant.

@TruthPulseReal ...embassy in both Moscow and Tel Aviv. The government of Ireland has consistently rejected any suggestion that it would end its diplomatic presence in these countries because it cannot be interpreted as condoning the behaviour of these states.
