FG voters go out, work and strive to improve things themselves and only seek a stable economy to allow that happen. As well as paying for the aforementioned and their never ending “entitlements “ we’re back to banana republic territory if the SF “manifesto” ever gets implemented (obviously it won’t as it is utter fantasy but they may try some of it). An utter failure of media scrutiny here

They are running candidates in constituencies where they haven’t a chance. Absolute pipe dream sort of stuff from someone who obviously hasn’t the foggiest notion about politics.

Plenty however saying it's not too prudent, such as chief economist insurance federation aka vested interest, but I'd love to see a link where it says 'it doesn't add up.' After all, it's only two days ago since 4 leading economists stated that the FG/ FF housing build projections 'didn't add up'.

However, Sinn Féin is explicitly talking about 'intangible assets' in the form of Intellectual Property, and to this end we are talking about companies like Apple and Google. Here is a good article talking about this todayhttps://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/explainer-what-is-the-row-about-sf-s-multinational-tax-plan-1.4155157 There seems to be two issues with Sinn Féin policy. One is that its immediate go-to of applying the 80 per cent rule on IP moved here between 2015 and 2017 would not actually generate any more revenue for the exchequer, merely when that money becomes available. The second, more serious issue is that if Sinn Fein was in a position to turn the screws on the large multinationals to fund their proposed large spending increases, that could potentially jeopardize a delicate and vital relationship that Ireland currently exercises.

'The best people' indeed. It's pure ignorance. Calling the party leader autistic. Haven't seen an outrage thread on that number I suppose it doesn't help the cause, so dismiss it.

You used to think that people voting for FF of FG were being conned. Consequently you were obviously smarter than them for being able to see through it I assume?

Matt Barrett wrote: » You 'don't really agree'? It's gutter talk plain and simple. Conned was giving people the benefit of the doubt. I do not believe most people would vote for FF/FG if they were fully aware of what they were letting themselves and others in for. Don't you fret about me, stick to actual comments, parties and policies.
