> Varadkar’s spats with Sinn Féin deputies, most recently an extremely heated and personal exchange with Pearse Doherty in the Dáil, have become a focal point of Irish politics, a measure of the wider political temperature, and a reflection of the political spectrum.
Well it’s about time people start realizing the toxicity Varadkar brings to politics.
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

Is that not just a recession?
When have we not been in feckin recession? Be grand
Hahaha it’s not a recession you pleb, it just FEELS that way to you. This MF just gaslighting a whole generation
So it will feel like a recession if your income doesn’t rise to match inflation which is >9%?
So everyone except a TD
Isn’t “Making work pay” an FG soundbite? Can’t say work is paying much or rent or food or much else these days. But sitting on your hole is working out just great for landlords.
The last time it didn’t “feel like a recession” was when there actually was a recession.
Same was true last time. There was plenty of the south dublin crowd who never felt the 08 recession.
The level of out of touch is unreal even for him.
Won’t be a recession for him or his circle that’s for sure
What an utter cunt
/ drinks in downvotes from FFG shills with a nice cup of tea
You won’t be hungry or homeless, it’ll just feel like it when you’re out on the street begging for money.
“It will feel like a recession for most….not me, but all the people beneath me”
Prick.
“only those with no money will be broke”
No fucking shit dickhead….stating the obvious…do something about it then! You are in the fuckjng government!
Let them eat cake.
So a recession it is then for 99% of us.
This country continues to be a dumpster fire and the government just keeps adding fuel to it.
I’m not a fan of Leo but I don’t think he’s really said anything wrong here. He’s answering the question on whether there will be a recession or not.
>While he is confident Ireland will avoid a recession, he admits that a lot of people’s incomes will not rise as fast as the cost of living “and for them it will feel like a recession”.
So he’s saying he doesn’t think there’ll be a recession but if your real income goes down it doesn’t really matter to you if the wider economy is growing or not.
And going without food will “feel like starvation”.
‘it will feel like a recession for the regular person. And that’s their fault for not being rich’
Can we kick this parasite out of the Dail already?
Hey Leo , Close the Door after ya , on yer way out .
Well i cant see the the whole article as its behind a paywall but this seems like a semantic arguement.
A recession is defined as a fall in GDP for two consecutive quaters. Thats not at all what we’re seeing.
The point is of course moot to most, maybe thats what he’s saying. People are still getting poorer whether its recession or inflation.
So just about everyone beside you and your gravy train chums and their self appointed raises.
It’s felt like that for anyone renting since the mid 2019s, you tone deaf piece of shit.
In other words “ I’m ok jack”
No shit our gnp contracted
For nurses and paramedics so.
So he’s basically saying, if it walks like a duck and looks like a duck, it’s a duck..
What a genius
Charlie Haughey used to basically say the same thing. Amazing how history moves in circles.
