Taoiseach says cost of living measures can’t be ‘chased month to month’

  1. Housing can’t be fixed over night, cost of living can’t the chased month to month, how about they actually pick something and fix it. In a timely manner.

    People fucking know we need a long term plan. Making excuses is weak governing and not shocking from this shower at all. Tbh, I’m more shocked we didn’t get a ‘but but but SF’

    Edit forgot my ‘t

  2. While Micheál Martin told Newstalk he is “very conscious of the acute pressures on people”

    Well at least he’s thinkng about us. That’s something isn’t it ?

  3. The government needs to be careful not to worsen inflation with demand side stimulus. I’m worried that they will bow to pressure and do so however.

  4. I think the issue people have is there isn’t even a semblance of a plan here.

    Same.with housing, we don’t expect an overnight fix, but FG/FF have been in bed together for years now and it’s only getting worse.

  5. It’s almost as if locking-down the country and pumping money into circulation to avoid businesses going bankrupt was a bad idea?

    The ECB are reluctant to raise interest rates because it could lead to countries like Greece defaulting on their debts. Combine that with the EU reliance on Russian oil and gas and were in a far more dangerous situation than most people realise

  6. What did people think would happen when they’re cheering for endless lockdowns. Country is bankrupt. And it’s only going to get worse.

  7. It’s easy to have that attitude when you earn a quarter mil per year plus “expenses” for doing fucking nothing. Christ, I hate this shower of pricks.

  8. It’s like they’ve finally admitted defeat and are just gonna be passive until Mary-Lou and her rag tag band of misfits assume power and actually try to get something done. Good or bad. It’s better than twiddling your thumbs and essentially doing fuck all.

  9. Oh those issues can’t be chased month to month? That’s a great response! Let’s try that on a landlord when they’re chasing me month to month for rent. God, you ever get so annoyed you don’t know what else to do but just laugh at how fucking stupid it is?
