Death benefit gone, maternity benefit reduced, illness benefit hit.

So don't get sick or pregnant or die and you'll be grand.

Uriel. · 15-10-2013 02:59PM

wine, beer and smokes going up as expected

Mint Sauce · 15-10-2013 02:59PM

10c on Beer and Cigarettes.

Roger_007 · 15-10-2013 02:59PM

Did he say 10% or 10 cents on the fags?

Banjo String · 15-10-2013 02:59PM

Pint up 10c

Fcuk you vintners association. I'm still buying from Aldi.

I assume you get money for kids so you can afford to feed them and give them clothes and stuff.

Yeah you cant guarantee that with some of the low life "parents" in this country though, massively reduce it and actually make education free, no books costs, uniforms, donations, nothing! then introduce free meals in the schools, so many of the those malnourished and going hungry arent at the mercy of many of their low lives parents!

FFS more tax on drink, might as well shut all the pubs down now great way to help jobs increase the costs of an already ailing industry.

Fathers getting screwed with abolition of one parent family tax credit

"Minister Noonan is bringing forward the start date of the new Film Relief scheme to 2015 from 2016.
It will be extended to include non-EU talent in order to help attract additional major film productions to these shores."

That's good, look at what Game of Thrones did for the North (no not that North) in terms of jobs, this country has some phenomenal scenery that'd be perfect for fantasy set films or period pieces, time to start using it more.

It would be most unfortunate if i were to die and not be able to claim my death benefit.

41% dirt. Better off having nothing and rely on our generous handouts

HeidiHeidi · 15-10-2013 03:00PM

Holy God, 41% DIRT tax:eek:

'tis a long way we've come since the days of the SSIA

He said 10 percent and at the end he said 10 cent.

Yes, he said 10% increase in excise but corrected himself that the increase was 10 cents.

Do you really think 10c extra on a pint will stop people going to the pub? That's an extra €2 for 20 pints(what I'd assume a lot of people drink per weekend).

What are you going to spend your SSIA on? I think I'll buy a nice boat, treat myself.

Box of fags up to €20
Pint up to €10

These are not necessary to ANYONE and therefore should be taxed to the sky.

I can guarantee that would cause a reduction in excise revenues rendering it completely pointless.

ibarelycare · 15-10-2013 03:03PM

50c on wine...so up €1.50 in two years. No doubts the shops will double that increase. Before last year's budget I could always find bottles on offer in Tesco and Super Valu for €6. Now it's rare to find a bottle under €8!

They will double the 10c, they alway do, so it will be 20c really.

FFS, Richard Bruton could have at least stayed awake for it.

I'm going to put some decking done in the back garden. Just in time for the first communions.

wolfpawnat · 15-10-2013 03:03PM

Never have I been so glad not to drink or smoke. I will still be fécked over though so what can you do?

Bit of a joke but they don't want people saving. Very unlikely someone will save @ 33% nevermind 41%

Still hear these words of last year: No one will see a change on their pay slip come january.

****er still owes me an explanation how it happened i again lost +/- €100 a month.

Didnt know it was possible but i get a really unhealthy amount of pure hatred for politicians.
Being Dutch and still have an interest in my country means i have to deal with 2 sets of those *****.

Surely, the Dutch politician-types are all great? No?
