@rtenews They’ve consistently increased payments to long term “jobseekers” every year despite there being full employment. Workers got a small tax adjustment this year; they got nothing last year. Actions speak louder than words - FG have prioritised long term jobseekers over workers.
@albertdolan_@jasonomahony How much is the HSE spending on the translation of medical reports / documentation? This is something that can be done to a very high standard by AI at the click of a button. We shouldn’t be spending millions translating documents.
@ShaneCostello10 His FG colleague Paschal Donohue was Minister for Finance / Minister for Public Expenditure for almost 10 years. There’s nobody to blame apart from FG.
@businessposthq@Paschald@LeoVaradkar Despite the spending, our infrastructure became highly strained. They threw money at everything and anything except for basic essentials like rail, roads, energy security / affordable energy, water supply and flood defences which were left to rot. / 2
@businessposthq A scathing attack on his former FG colleagues @Paschald and @LeoVaradkar. “Prudent Paschal” and Varadkar kept taxes high for hard working people to allow for wasteful government spending. Most people saw little to no benefit from the runaway spending. /1
@kenoflynnTD Huge fanfare during the budget about workers getting a small tax adjustment. The extra few euro is immediately wiped out by the PRSI increase along with more expensive tolls and higher energy costs.
@RobCarryBray He could only get elected in Dublin. Same goes for the toxic PBP lunatics. Same goes for the sole Green Party TD. None of them would get elected anywhere else in the country.
@NewstalkFM The Green’s approach has been an unmitigated disaster. A rapidly growing population meant a major rail expansion along with more road capacity is what was needed and they failed to deliver. /2
@NewstalkFM Always remember that the Greens had the transport ministry from 2020 to 2025. They put a defacto ban on road improvements in urban areas and failed to build a single KM of rail. They wanted us to believe that Bus Connects and cycle lanes would be our saviour. /1
@rtenews It’s worse than watching paint dry. The Irish government is always a decade behind the curve in even coming to the realisation that will be needed. Then it takes them another decade to get it built.
@TonightVMTV People aren’t asking to be shielded from everything. They’re asking you to justify govt spending that has spiralled out of control under FG’s watch. Runaway / wasteful spending means hard working people get to keep less of their own money. People are not seeing enough benefit.
@griptmedia HSE also spending a fortune getting clinical reports translated. It’s beyond belief that AI isn’t being used for this. Report should be available to the patient in English/Irish and can be translated to other languages using AI upon request. 1/
@businessposthq Yet more proof that this govt’s strategy is to squeeze hard working people for every last euro. Govt push workers to financial breaking point with high taxes and then the govt get to play god in deciding who gets some relief in the form of a payment or credit.
@CWeston_Indo The government are addicted to high taxation. They need it to fund their runaway spending (which most people are not feeling the benefit of).
@CWeston_Indo I was saying this in the months leading up to the budget. It’s classic FG/FF. They make a big song & dance about giving workers a meagre few euro of a tax reduction. Then the stealth taxes kick in to wipe it all out.
