Must be panicking that the “shout populism” tactic hasn’t worked.
I don’t care about paying taxes.
Just fix one of the crises we’re in.
Just one.
How about they build some houses so we can stop corporate subsidies and thus lower rents and prices?
Fix something first. Just one thing.
The last time they said that I think I ended up with an extra fiver a week in my pocket.
I would rather they use my tax to fix some of the countries problems.
I’d be happy to pay higher taxes if my money wasn’t being wasted by organisations like the HSE
Cost of living is through the roof and this January my bik is going to increase by 100%
– We can’t go to to A&E because of the massive queues.
– There is a GP shortage all over the country
– Garda are not answering all 999 calls and when they do they don’t have resources to deal with them
– Schools are not been given the resources to properly support children with additional needs
Those topics don’t even touch on the housing disaster.
Fix these before giving a tax cut
They tried it in 2016, again in 2020 but somehow third time’s the charm…
Given the demographic they’re targeting, I don’t see why they just don’t deal with Childcare costs instead. Have to rub that fiver around I guess.
Why? I’m a middle income earner. The less they tax, the less they spend on essential public services. This makes everything more expensive anyway. I just don’t understand the logic. I’m happy to pay more tax if we get things like childcare, cheap public transport and bike lanes??? The man is infuriating.
I have no issue paying taxes but in all honesty what do our taxes actually pay for? Our public services are a state.
I’d settle for fixing health service. But literally, just fix one thing
Giving everyone this extra money is just fanning the flames of inflation, I would have been in favor of higher tax of you would guarantee the money would be well spent on infrastructure but some chance of that
Just raise the bands, they haven’t done that in fucking years
>“The average two-income couple, both working full-time, pays €800 a year less in income tax than they would if Sinn Féin had done the last budget.”
They couldnt be more afraid of Sinn Fein. Which should push them left
Are people fcking here, saying it’s great, how the fck 10-20e a week is great?
That’s like fck all honesty filling up nearly at 2.20e, eletricity, heating went up by like 500e minimum a year, just from last six months, food crawling up by few % which is like 10-30e extra a week on a shopping, and then there’s people saying sure a bump will be coming.
That’s like nothing by the time few euro saves most prob be spending extra grand a year, for same everyday living.
Can we prioritise getting rid of fine geal after the next election please?
Hand outs are the only thing these cunts have to offer this country
Unless they can give me an extra couple of hundred a week don’t bother insulting me with a tax cut.
Fix the flipping housing crisis. This actually means economic measures aimed at reducing the price of houses, which runs contrary to FG policy so will never happen.
Sort out health. It’s a nightmare even for paying customers.
Go way with your paltry tax cut offer. Headline grabbing.
>and retaining the first-time buyers grant of up to €30,000
Were they not told in the last few days that this was a primary driver in house prices?
20 years (hell, 40 years) too late. I’ll vote for the shinners this time. Adleast they seem like normal dishonest people.
Edit: spelling
5e extra a week, also increase USC
Unless they plan to put USC in the bin, any decrease in tax will be barely in line with inflation and therefore won’t really be noticed.
I think this may be aiming at offsetting inflation but it’s not going to make an appreciable difference.
Doesn’t matter what these clowns do now, next GE they’re out on their ear!
My elderly dad had to go to A&E a while back and wasn’t seen after waiting there for 8 hours. He had to leave. I don’t want an extra 5er a week. I want a decent health service and for all my friends to not have to leave the country.
Happy days, but im still not voting for those cints
Cool, I’ll still never vote for them.
>At the same time, the Dáil debated a Sinn Féin Private Members Bill calling for an emergency budget.

It is populist. Read the fucking room you idiots, populism is rising around the world because of out of touch elites who don’t understand the actual reality of life for people.
And all around the world, establishment political parties are losing to populists… and these clowns think “populist” is a slur or something?
Great, that few quid a week will really offset the high cost of living.
I personally have no issue paying high taxes if it means affordable, housing, Healthcare, childcare (I don’t have children but for those that do). It would be great if everyone one could pay their fare share in taxes too. People like to blame all the free money given to the poors as the cause for global inflation but the reason free money was give to the poor is because money earned by the extremely wealthy isn’t being trickled back down into the economy. The very rich hoarding money is causing inflation (besides some other global events)
Operation bribe the electorate so they forget about Sinn Fein is well and truely underway
What the fuck dude, i’ll gladly pay double of what i pay in taxes if it means i get to live in a house
I’d prefer a TD wage cut tbh
For a party who always go on about the lack of a SF magic money tree they sure do manage to find plenty of money out of nowhere for tax cuts, potentially joining NATO, and grants to help developers sell houses which push up property prices.
That extra 50 quid a year or whatever insignificant amount it will work out as won’t buy my vote.
Oh, well they have my vote now 🙂
Not.
Looking after FG voters and nobody else
I’d be okay paying golf of my salary in tax like we do if we got some sort of working system out if it.
However, I’m not okay sith the current system of take huge amount of tax, and sqander it all on incompetent shit.
Keep your bribe FF and FG. You’re gone at the next election.
Heard it all before Leo. Fuck right off.
“We have fucked ye for years, but here, let me buy your vote so we can continue to fuck ye”
Inflation is a bigger issue now than tax. They need to reverse their decade of indirect tax hikes.
Fine Gael to prioritize cheap votes in next election
Yeah but why though? That money could be far better spent on you know solving the housing crisis or improving the healthcare system, but I guess FG is gonna be FG.
Throwing us crumbs like they think we’re pidgeons. It’ll be too little too late for FG
