@teddytrix88 @DanielHussey2 Suit you down to the ground

@SmallerFishGAA Definitely got access to the camera at half time. No way anybody was seeing that in real time.

@WestKerrylad @charlibrat I agree with above. And maybe an uneducated opinion from outside the county. But the Munster championship is far less attritional than others. Is it the demands of all year round football (clubs)??

@MusketPower @EwanMacKenna I have it

@JamesOConnorTD @albertdolan_ @ryanomeara_td Why didn’t you back it up then? Make a big stand. Be the difference? Too afraid to go against the grain 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well allow me to retort...

A fuel cap is as unrealistic as a rent cap imo. But cutting taxes is perfectly realistic. It won't take a wrecking ball to the economy, just to their vanity projects.

Ireland takes in roughly 4 billion in various fuel taxes. Ireland gave away roughly 2 billion in foreign aid.

So straight away we can see that we could abandon the carbon tax at the pump, and the Nora levy, and lower VAT or Excise to reduce the states take by 25%, or roughly 25 cents a litre, giving us petrol at around 1.70 and diesel under 2 euro. That's just an off the cuff example, not a prescription.

We could do that, decide not to send money abroad next year, and still be up a billion euro. Cutting a billion in taxes but reclaiming 2 billion that's being squandered.

Now if we want to talk about a wrecking ball to public finances, we should look no further than asylum and immigration.

On average, throughout the entirety of their claims process an asylum seeker in Ireland costs the state about 120k euro. That's about ten people on the average wage paying every cent of tax for a year to support each man trying to game our system. Ten people per asylum seeker is taking a wrecking ball to public finances. Along with the hotels they're occupying which have cost jobs and tourism revenue. Irish people didn't consent to their revenue being used in ways that don't benefit them in the slightest.

When it comes to non EEA migration studies show that they're usually a net negative to the public purse to the tune of around 7k a year, when all things are factored in. So on average a non EEA migrant is cancelling out most of the contribution of a taxpayer. Meaning every non EEA migrant is translating to Subtracting one workers contribution, Not adding one. How many of our 25%+ foreign born are non EEA?

When they say that immigration benefits a country it's a deliberately disingenuous presentation of cropped data. EEA migrants benefit the economy they move to, most others simply don't. Multiple studies in multiple countries have confirmed this.

We haven't touched NGOs, largely fruitless pursuits of renewable energy, our EU contribution, or any other department where would could potentially trim wasteful spending.

Don't tell me in this eternally rich country we can't cut taxes? What's the point of us being so rich, as we're constantly told we are, if we can't even react to sustain our economy and avoid a fairly inevitable recession?

@EO_Halloran Do you think those farmers/lorry drivers that are parked up all over the country are sitting watching TikTok and twitter and saying let’s go protest, nothing to do with their costs??😂😂
