If you say something that's true,then you have nothing to fear from the courts
If someone sues,cost for you is not an issue
Theres no regardless
Theres no punishment in the courts for dissent only right or wrongs declared
Say something untrue or defame ,then you may lawyer up,expecting to pay your costs,the defamed persons and any awarded damages
This is right and proper
We aren't run like Russia thankfully
Ah yeah arent run like russia,hence why fg send gaurds to interrogate bloggers at dublin airport
I feel.the legislation is well meaning,esp for sf with the abuse their higher number of female members in particular get....but ultimaely flawed in a country which treats whistleblowers like ireland deos
Do you not fear it will be used to silence dissent as anyone who dare speak out will be threatened with court and sueing,with virtually noone able to afford courts,irregardless of how right they are??
This legislation will let it that only those who are part of the top 1% finance wise can speak out and poorer people will be threatened into silence imo....
imagine if micheal mcdowell or the rest of the mad right had access to this horrendous oversight and powers,things are bad enough as it is here
Lol
Hyperbole much
We are not Russia
Gardai are not the Moscow/Putin police
.
Ok Your personal interactions with the cops are irrelevant
We are not Russia and the Gardaí are as far from putins police or the hyperbole I read above from you as I am from the moon
This needs some elaboration:
Ya mate,thats why i stopped and searched twice last week by special branch miles and miles from where that royal visit was to take place....totally normal behaviour by an extremist government and got stopped and verbally abused by special branch for delivering a newspaper previously
Why are they irrelavant,i havnt broken any laws
Vast vast majority of people have never ever interacted with special branch, you have twice and are calling ROI a police state and now getting p!ssy with others for commenting without full info,
Pass on the full info or people will come to their own conclusions.
And nothing in that paragraph you wrote was "fairly clear" it was all innuendo.
law and order politians would abuse this sf law to silenece dissent
(kind of how our present rulers demand charities platform government or they cut off funding,similar to threats issued to newspapers aswell....totally normal behaviour aparently....the law is well meaning,just our rulers cant be truste
I have never interacted with special branch either, quite strange story.
I'm no fan of the proposed law, but as you wish, other posters will draw their own conclusions.
(is no one else noticing the Roman inheritance law referenced in this reply?)
Stopped by 'special branch' eh? Did they identify themselves like that?
And what does the royal visit have to do with gardai stopping you?
'delivering a newspaper' I can imagine which newspaper that was.....
You have no idea who they were. And they didn't introduce themselves to you as 'special branch'
Detectives are plain clothes and armed. And you still haven't explained what the royal visit has to do with you getting stopped?
..
Lol.
There were no 'special branch' stopping you 🤣
You seem to be a tad paranoid.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Except they were not. You're paranoia is getting to you.
Why would special branch be stopping you???....
Deosnt look scarcastic to me anyway...given way yous all blindly support the special criminal court irregardless of its obvious failings,wouldnt be of any suprise to anyone,if you were serious
Not even the little smiley I added no ?
Just to be abundantly clear,like most people, I do not want any of the security apparatus of the Republic of Ireland dismantled
It has served us well
It needs enhancing
Looks like SF are emptying the subs bench………………
Haha the last few pages gave me a laugh
blazz i ve seen you express admiration and support for dissisant republican terrorists on this site , you are exactly the kind of person who should and would draw the attention of the state security agency's
fair play to them
Why would that be,i havnt broken any law?
Can someone explain to me the relevance of Spacial Branch and criminality in a SF thread? .....Actually, never mind!
isnt that between you and "special branch" although like i said you are some one who falls very much within their remit
Sinn Fein want to if elected..
Introduce a third rate of income tax on individuals earnings over €100,000…
top rate currently is 40%.
interestingly they don’t commit a figure which is shady p, should just out with it but true to their style…but say, 46% ?
A managing director of a pharmaceutical company, earning 100,000 comes out with 56,000 ??? Paying 44,000 in tax ? On what’s a very nice but hardly an astronomical wage.
if you have that level of experience, expertise, skill but have to have that amount of responsibility ? You want and expect commensurate take home pay.
......that's not how taxation works.
If the rate of tax is your hypothetical 46% at above €100,000, your Pharma MD on exactly €100,000 will be paying precisely the exact same amount of tax as before. The 46% rate would only kick in on earnings above €100,000. After tax, PRSI and USC, this person would take home ~€62,000 just like they do right now.
If he gets a pay rise to €120,000, he would be paying €1200 more tax than he would've been under the current tax regime. Currently he would take home ~€71,500 after this pay increase, under the hypothetical rates above, he'd be taking home ~€70,200.
While I think the current 40% tax barrier kicks in far too early, I would support a higher tax bracket for very high earners but I wouldn't be proposing it at anywhere near €100,000.
Your, 'you want and expect commensurate take home pay' argument only makes sense as an argument for the abolition of taxation altogether (which I'm sure you'd agree is foolish), or is there some sort of arbitrary cut off where people are allowed to expect pay commensurate with their experience, expertise, skill and responsibility? What about people who are very high earners who DON'T have huge responsibility? Should we have a different tax bracket for them?
All in all, I don't agree with the policy, but with your hyperbolic hysterics and poor grasp of numbers, you'd be in with a shout as SF Minister for Finance.
Not hyperbolic whatsoever and if that’s really the level of debate ?
most people earning that sort of money do have responsibilities yes. Hospital consultants, would be another example of some people earning that and more. Same as some senior airline pilots.
commensurate take home pay doesn’t in fact suggest the abolition of tax altogether… some disingenuous mind gymnastics as well as garbling of our language enabled that conclusion from you.
as for your mathematical predictions we shall see…. If I’m out a few grand on the calcs… so be it…but the Sinn Fein commitment in their words….on income vs earnings they’ve left that open to different interpretations but their intent as far as ‘citizens’ of this state is far from requiring interpretation….
