    “And I want to make it very clear that myself, the Government are absolutely determined to deal comprehensively with this.”*

    …. But not til October, when problems will be way worse – and even then the measures won’t come into play til January.

  2. >“Putin is despicable, his war is despicable, but the job of this House, of your Government in particular, Taoiseach, is to protect Irish families and Irish workers now.

    Literally handed SF an easy win. GG

  3. If Putin is causing inflation then why are petrol companies cashing in billions more in profit than last year?

  4. Inflation was literally documented of being 7% the months prior to the invasion. Anyone willing to spend 5 minutes looking into this can prove him wrong.

    Disgusting tactics by our taoiseach and makes me dislike him even more

  5. The utter tragedy of ever voting FF back into power after the crash becomes clearer every day. MM is not a Taoiseach.

  6. Not often I agree with SF but they are right on this one I’m sick and tired of seeing inflation being solely blamed on Russia. The writing was on the wall since early 2021 but the ECB and the fed refused to acknowledge it and just shrugged it of as “transitory”.

  7. What’s he on about? It’s been going up since the end of last year and that’s been well documented. Anyone with even the slightest bit of knowledge of world economics knows this. Be better off trying the fix the country rather there constant SF bashing. It’s pathetic at this stage.

  8. Haha , I despise SF but this is pathetic globalist bullshit rhetoric from Martin , he’s clearly been briefed by the same people as Macron, von der Leyden and Biden

  9. In hindsight, Haughey saying Ahern was the most devious and cunning of them all, was a lot less about Ahern and a lot more an indication of who ‘them all’ were.

  10. is there anything else this dope wants to blame Putin for? Inflation was increasing massively long before the Ukraine war due to the printing presses working overtime during the lock downs. Either this guy is being deceitful or he really is a fkn idiot
