He didn’t even suggest not being poor. What a rookie mistake
The next general election can’t come quick enough!
Sure, I’ll shop around… for a different fucking party and candidate. There! Problem solved!!! Fucking knob-end.
Just say no to avocado toast!
Have the poors considered simply not eating?
How do you shop around for Diesel by spending more to drive to the cheaper stations.
Shopped around for Maple Syrup. Over €4.50 in Tesco. £2 in Sainsburys up North. Diesel cost me a fortune for me on that shop around.
Ooh, not a popular one, Sean.
Read the room.
Fucking numpty
Any time I’ve been living on the line week to week, I’ve been obsessive about getting the best deals because I had to be. This statement really betrays a serious lack of both empathy and class consciousness.
At this stage do they even care what they say….nothing happens and even if it does they know there sorted for life
Jesus, I never thought of that, thanks Sean.
Just goes to show how out of touch these people are. They only care for businesses at the expense of the Irish people.
It might be easier for him and others like him but the people with hardly anything except a 30c or was it a 50c increase in minimum wage which the inflation has already wiped that increase out many times over.
They didn’t want us shopping around when it came to minimum unit pricing on alcohol in shops? Before that then, they removed using money off vouchers that would’ve saved people money. They are picking and choosing. The sooner these people are removed then the better!.
Chip shortage, brexit, supply chain issues, manufacturing slowdown during pandemic, even a coffee shortage. Car shortage, fuel prices through the roof. EU failing to do act in correct time on runaway inflation. Most expensive healthcare, childcare, rent….Sure shop around! Sorry minister, are you playing for the other side?
Taking his advice on board, will start shopping around for new minister immediately 👍
Claimed 27,000 euro in expenses in 2020, wish government ministers shopped around a little too
Hell rub it in. I was a college student back in 2008, when Fine Gael promised they wouldn’t touch student grants if people voted for them. Well, that didn’t work out too well. 2022, people are still voting for FG/FF, expecting different results. I work full-time and have no realistic chance of ever owning a home. I live paycheck to paycheck, struggling to pay bills and live a somewhat comfortable life. Next election, I have very little doubt, it will be another FF or FG government. Irish people seem to love to complain about how bad things are, but have no hesitation when voting those who cause these hardships back into power. I’m now in the process of looking at options to emigrate, because I see little hope of change. I recently lamented on here about the extortionate rises in Alcohol prices, to which someone replied ‘sure all parties agreed on it’. This is the reality unfortunately, instead of even considering voting for another party, we’re lead to believe that they’d be just as bad or even worse. Ireland has a serious abusive relationship when it comes to FF/FG, no matter how much they shit on us, we seem to reward them. I’ll repeat, hell rub it in, because we bring it o ourselves.
Fianna Fail? I gotta say I was expecting Fine Gael from the headline. They truly are merging!
“Oh look there’s a massive pit filled to the brim with shit. I’m going to jump right in it.”
Completely regardless of the subject, how disconnected from reality does an elected official have to be to even think about making a comment about voters complaining?
Gobshite.
Don’t worry minister, we will be shopping around too when it comes to the next election rather than complaining about the current government…
“If you move around you can get better prices”
Is he actually telling us to emigrate?
Spastic
This from a minister who is based in Castletown in Laois, the constituency office and the little village around it is really well manicured/looked after that looks like allot of government funds has been pumped into. Even If not it’s obvious there is wealth in the area.
Like most politicians anything potentially good he can tack his name onto he does. At the same time he his constituency has some of the worst services for children with additional needs in the country and he hasn’t no interest in changing sweet fuck all about it.
I’m hoping people remember the rage when it comes to the next election and fucks them out of politics for good.
Is he suggesting we get everything from cheaper EU countries?
Same energy as “Try it sometime”
Let them eat ~~cake~~ avocado toast
Fucking wow…. just wow
Lads, for fuck sake.
Stop being poor.
And THATS why even when Michael Martin was hemorrhaging agriculture ministers he still left Flemming sitting on the sidelines like a 12 year old with two left feet.
How to lose all support from the Irish young people.
Step 1:
I don’t drive (because of the cost) so I live in a city centre with no Aldi/Lidl. If I want to “shop around” by going to an Aldi etc I’d have to get a bus (€2.40) to destination and a taxi (€15 at least) back as well as adding on an extra hour or two to the shop. Some people are just so out of touch with how the other half lives it’s mind boggling.
Heres an idea for you Minister. How about you get fucked
Ah yes like shop around for insurance? When they got caught for being a cabal. Or shop around for a place to rent? When the prices are out of control. Or shop around for food? Even when Lidl, Aldi and Tesco have increased their prices in the last year.
Oh yeah. The generation that grew up in a recession and lived on eggs and bread for 4 fucking years doesn’t know how to fucking shop around like.
