Simon Harris, the TikTok Taoiseach

Serious question but what policy or legislation change did FG make that had any impact on the economy? I put the economy success down to hard working Irish people and MNCs making huge profits and availing of our tax rate.

Simon is all talk and no results. His track record won't change.

Heck, ol' Slymon even forgot about the hostages in his first speech in April.

Simon Harris on 7th May: "What happened on Mount Street was allowed to go on for weeks and weeks, and months and months in fact, this will not be the situation in relation to the Grand Canal".

Track record is consistent.

I had an old friend that use to say going into a work meeting "you should not ask a question unless you know the answer".

MLMD made a serious error in that question. SF in there years in opposition have left too many hostages to fortune in there opposition to everything tactic. They are panicking now as the government is getting stronger in the polls and FG in particular while they are leeching support

10 billion seems an astronomical figure but its over 12-13 years. Eduction costs 10 billion a year . The average over the 13 years is about 770 million it probably helping to keep a roof over the heads of the bones of 400k people. At present assuming that it's costing the state about 3k/ person per year. And that the gross cost tenant contributions are probably about 15-20% of that figure

SF is a long time in opposition, being a party in/of power is different. They did not grasp the bullet last time( offer FF a deal they could not refuse). No point being popular in the mid term. At present we are synchronised with local, European and national elections all virtually together. I taught the election would be next year. At present after the latest poll I am thinking September/October. Unless polls change we are looking at a return of the present government.

Read it and weep. The goal might have been open but SF are driving the ball wide. MLMD and the nodding donkey next to her are not government material.

If it is left up to Taoiseach (prime minister) Simon Harris, an amended version of Ireland’s insidious and controversial hate speech bill will be passed before the next general election.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne, the Fine Gael leader said that he had decided to pass the bill before March 22, 2025—the last possible legal date for holding a general election.

Hopefully the rumours of GE before the clocks go back are true so #TheTikTokseach doesn't get to enforce these laws?

That's just using a lie to kick the can down the road. He is talking through his ass there because he knows the election will be in Oct/Nov. It's so dishonest on his part. They are much too afraid to grasp that nettle.
