Meanwhile on the same day
But have to add this advertising whilst looking at the Article
Are FG now genuinely panicking after over a decade of destroying the middle earners they supposedly “represent” or taking the piss out of us yet again?
Lots don’t get any bonus or if they do like me it’s very much performance and financially related and fairly modest- and taxed to the fcukin hilt before you see a cent of it.
Budget 2023 may increase tax-free bonus for workers - Varadkar

Higher earners always the winner in good and austerity times under FFG, at the expense of low and middle income earners.
Hmmm, 30 years ago, I'd have hoped things we're better back then.
You can accuse of twists and turns all you like, your an expert in the field.
I've made a point, stuck to it, had to break it down due to semantics and here we are again, more twist and turns, it's almost like Dancing on Ice.
So to reiterate Dail recess will see a mass exedos of politicians, Opposition, Government TD'S and members of the Cabinet, they'll return after yearly think ins, Lessons to be learned and government back to the same nonsense until the fireworks commence before budget.
Meanwhile, people left dangling, Queuing up at food banks, calling on SVP for help, inundate MABS (actually has already happening), desperately seek rental accommodation, likely increased numbers in Emergency Accommodation, Struggle to afford childcare, back to school costs, Fuel prices through the roof, struggle to actually live week to week.
Meanwhile, before they go AWOL, more ****ing grants for night time economy when no one can afford to socialise, pre announcement of a magical €3 billion for refugee expenditure.
This is Not makey uppy Blanch, its not even some 3rd world country I'm referring too, all this is happening, in Ireland in 2022, I hope your proud of your hero's.
It's disgusting.
that every Ukrainian is busting their gut to get here
That's quite an obscence exploitation of the situation Ukrainians find themselves in.
But we welcome and accept the like of Michael Noonan not knowing about the siteserv deal (within the department he headed) with Denis O'Brien, when convenient.
It is quite extraordinary to see the twists in everything you post.
On the one hand this is such a great country that every Ukrainian is busting their gut to get here but this is such a bad country because something something de gubberment.
I don't know about nowadays, but I worked in a Minister's office as a civil servant nearly 30 years ago, and he was in touch daily with the office for the whole year. Just about got Christmas Day off. The idea of Ministers having extended holidays is just silly nonsense.
Over the top is it?
This is you:
" they don't care one iota for said refugees and would rather those people be murdered and raped by Putin's army than go and actually help them."
Gutter talk you made up. It was FG refused to sanction Putin when the Crimea was invaded.
But we know FF and FG are happy to turn a blind eye and help cover up institutional rape, selling babies and leaving a mass burial ground of infants to lie fallow.
It's joint what with Denmark? Most expensive country in the EU... 🙄
Imagine you having to read a newspaper or book. There are a lot of words in those...
Have you answered any of those questions?
Sinn Fein will be able to do alot in Govt that FG or FF in opposition won't be able to hold to account. For example any govt documents can be leaked by any SF leader to a friend and the opposition will have to just say well the precedent is there for nothing to happen, what can we do
Semantics, are you seriously, seriously, seriously suggesting members Cabinet not going on extended holidays.
Oddly enough, it actually won't make the slightest difference, it might actually save money, given they very fond of shaking this mystical magical money tree they say doesn't exist, yet more hand outs to hospitality, €3Billion for Refugees, Grants for Ukranian Students.
Usless shower and the Irony, Marko, if SF pulled even a fraction of the strokes this shower are pulling, who'd be the first to go into a frenzy 🤔🤔🤔
Ireland is now the most expensive country in the EU
No its not. Its joint along with Denmark, and Irelands wages are near the top as well by the way.
The rest of your post is just another angry word salad that you seem to reval in.
You referenced the Dail going on a summer break.
But the Cabinet isn't going on holiday. Its that simple
This shouldn't be that hard for you to grasp, and if you find it tough going perhaps you need to rethink the context in which you post.
Called out?
You honestly are incapable of calling anyone out, that takes being able to read first. Faux anger is hilarious, especially coming form somebody who has the word "outrage" in their permanent vocabulary.
This government may try to wish away reality, but the reality is they are useless cretins.
Ireland is now the most expensive country in the EU, without the wages to match, we have insurance cartels, high inflation rates, and money being squandered everywhere by the government. Tourists can't afford to come here, and if they could, there isn't enough accomodation, because the government are paying for it to house the refugees we can't accommodate. Pubs and nightclubs are being funded by our money to provide'event's to entice us into them to pay their crazy prices. As if money wasn't tight enough without the government funding them to coax us out. That is without going into any of the other areas that need serious attention. So while you believe you need to defend these and think people are sticking their sticking their wet finger in the air, it beats the hell out of where you lot have your fingers stuck. Regardless, it's time to pull them out, people are sick of looking at these useless eejits, and listening to the likes of you defending them, as funny as it was to begin with. I am surprised Leo hasn't voiced out about the shortage of flakes and tried to help fix it for the ice cream vans. All he'd have to do is point out there are tons of them in Government.
Have you answered any of my questions from yesterday or were they too difficult for you? Any of them? Or are you just going to troll through posts, quote them and write some piece of unrelated useless nonsense underneath, with the intention of getting a reaction and deflecting from the subject and avoiding answering anything .
AKA - Trolling.
And there off 🤣🤣
Actually, I referred to Government clasping for their passports in advance of their holidays and the fact all they seem to care about is insuring said passports in date.
So let's analyse your sillyness.
Government = Politicians
Cabinet = Politicians
Dail = Politicians
Politicians fecking off on extend holidays
Ergo = No Politicians = No Cabinet = No Government
It's not rocket science marko
A yes or no will suffice not your usual guff.
You don't like being called out on your over-the-top banal and faux anger at all and anything the government does.
Have a go at government policy all you want, but do it within the context that a) we live on planet earth b) we are a member of the EU c) we have signed up to international treaties with respect to refugees.
No government can just wish away reality because the powers of the Irish government and state are somewhat limited these days with what's going on in the world.
Ah, so when the stats go in your favour, you like to bring them up.
Odd that? ;) :D
Yes, Ireland is an expensive place for all types of reasons.
A disgusting sexist comment. Well done for outing yourself.
It's so blatant, that they are using refugees to have a go at the government when they admit they don't care one iota for said refugees and would rather those people be murdered and raped by Putin's army than go and actually help them. The usual crew were all for Putin some months back, changed their tune slightly but still singing the same song.
... and in that scenario, the Dail can be recalled....
Target or goal in mind for what? Another pointless, useless statistic?
OK, so not only do you reject the notion of comparing Ireland using independent international benchmarks and statsitcs, you also don't see the point in creating targets or goals, for example in relation to housing.
So that puts you firmly in the 'Govern by mood and sticking a wet finger up in the air' camp?
Thought as much. Empty vessels and all that. :) :D
Your devotion is acknowledged and accepted. If you want, I can send you revolut details so that you can pay tribute to me.
I thought it was pretty self-explanatory?
Let me repeat it.
The Dail is not the Cabinet or the Government. You seem to think that because the Dail is in recess the Cabinet don't meet and the government goes on holiday.....
It Doesnt!
Hope that is clear enough for you.
Or getting the few bob at your local SW office that MM and Eamonn Ryan keep rabbiting on about 😉
Youd have more of a chance finding a table in a Dublin restaurant walk in......
Still no yes or no answer from Blanch on President Higgins comments.
It's just bizzare, is there any logic to this absurd nonsense, jesus wept, I'm just flabbergasted and I know the sector well 😳
People on their knees, can barely afford to fill their cars, pay utility BILLS, cover childcare costs and they seriously think people either think this acceptable or that folks will find money from hidden magic money trees to go nightclubbing and drinking into the wee hours, FFS 🙄
Who is supposed to go to those events, and who will insure them? There's nowhere for tourists to stay, and if they have an accident while they're here, good luck getting a hospital bed.. 🤣
Then of course there is us.. Who have been told that our drinking is the reason the hospitals are so busy, so they reward the breweries and retailers with MUP, but we really need to, we can still drink in the pubs and nightclubs that now have funded events (not funded by MUP), and may soon be open all night..
Genius.
