> TD says he can walk out of Leinster House and ‘buy drugs on any corner’
Good to know, struggling to find some weed atm.
Good salary, Good benefits, flexible hours, Hybrid working, flexible annual leave, bike to work scheme.
I mean, its not the worst package in the world, maybe some pension contribution package would work well. Perhaps management could be a bit more proactive in building a positive teamwork environment too.
Again the Times is simply passing on messages, without doing any actual investigations themselves. I would have expected that they do some groundwork in North Dublin and talk to the community, Gards, etc, instead of simply passing on what McAuliffe is saying.
Minimum wage job for most street level dealers. Better off in the fast food industries.
Are these employers paying taxes? The government is missing out on some sweet sweet taxes
Let’s keep the recovery going
Decriminalisation
If only we could tax and regulate this employer 
A whole article based on something a TD said with no actual evidence…stupid
Imagine making it legal.
The flow of taxes might mean we can abolish the likes of vehicle VRT and start getting some proper cars on the island etc.
I hope in the next few years this is the ‘legal’
Maybe if his party had implemented something to improve the situation like other countries have done over the years it wouldn’t be so bad. Personal drug use is a health issue and not a criminal one. Treatment centres are needed.
If editors could stop using the passive voice in headlines like these, that’d be fucking great.
To me, “Dail has been told” implies some level of expertise. As in it was said by an expert in the field based on evidence, or at least extensive professional experience. An off the cuff remark by a random TD should not carry the weight of this headline, especially when it’s such a patently absurd statement.
That said, McAuliffe’s broader point is true. Obviously, drugs are freely available, and policing us non-existent (except when the gardai arbitrarily decide to go after someone or need pretext to hassle someone).
Shame that TDs are still refusing to acknowledge the correct solution. And that the Times is choosing to lead with flippant remarks by TDs rather than the more substantive discussion.
Yeah but pension benefits suck ass, and there’s no retirement party or bonus.
> […] a high-visibility Garda command vehicle has been placed on O’Connell Street and has been manned.”
Does anybody else find the wording here a little weird? All she said is that a high visibility Garda vehicle has been parked on O’Connell street and was manned (note the use of the past tense here). I mean, what good is an unoccupied Garda car on the street with regards detecting or preventing crime?
We better be careful they don’t pull out, tax breaks for the boyos?
We don’t have a Govt capable of taking Leadership positions… They don’t lead…they all just protect their own position and pals interests. We’ll have to wait for Germany and then 25 years of more social misery we’ll make a change in policy.
Such a ridiculous statement.
All these little bollocks think they are auditioning for Love/Hate
