Wonder will there be a big giveaway in the upcoming budget
If you are not going to dip into the rainy day fund in the middle of a economic, energy and housing crisis. When are you EVER gonna use it? Its been pissing rain here for years Paschal.
Let me get this straight, SF would spend 9.6 billion on cost of living allowances?
That should be put into infrastructure and housing. No competition.
Neoliberal claptrap. Evidence-free ideology that has been proven wrong time and time again.
We get a crazy amount of our corporation tax from Apple, Google & Microsoft – they could leave in the morning if they can save money somewhere else. We can’t spend this on day to day spending, or we run the risk of the mother of all budget deficits down the road.
Any party which advocates using this for something other than capital investment or paying down debt/saving is economically illiterate and putting us all at risk.
I believe FG are saving a lot of this money, hoping we change our mind on Neutrality/NATO and can buy weapons, arranged by some party friendly middleman getting massive commission.
If it weren’t for the fact that FFG speaking constant nonsense is driving them head first out of office, I would hope they shut-up permanently.
Paschal Donohoe wants to setup a “rain day fund” in case we have another “pandemic and a war” and hopes the bogeyman ‘Sinn Fein’ doesn’t raid the cookie jar.
Can someone remind the minster for gross stupidity that we HAD and STILL HAVE a Gross National Debt of **€235.9 BILLION**.
€10-16 BILLION should be spent paying off the disgraceful nation debt, their generation has piled on future generations.
They are so fucking finished at the next election and they don’t even know it. Bragging about fiscal surpluses in the current context is ludicrous and tone deaf.
We are flooded up cash and incapable if actually doing anything .
Saw a great line in twitter, “Ireland can’t actually do any of the things it can afford”.

The surplus probably suits their plans now 😅
