It’s an interesting one to see where it ends up. A global 15 per cent corporate tax rate would see the battleground move to individual tax rate to attract people. For now people working outside Ireland causes tax issues for the MNCs I think.

Medium term it will become an employee retention/attraction tool - come to us and you can work where ya like. Up to now the conventional wisdom was young people wanted to work in cities.

I wonder does this have anything to do with the government selling off the last of its Bank of Ireland shares?

The working abroad / income tax issue is bubbling along nicely. Like the WFH phenomenon the wants of employees are years ahead of legislation.

At least when Michael Martin is gone there is a lot of depth to come through for FF

He’s a strong candidate to lose the TD part of his handle next time out. Gobshite…

I think most of the FF TD’s are strong candidates to lose the TD part at the next election.

It’s mad that a week before the last election they were strong favourites to be the biggest party by some distance.

What was it 50 odd seats they were expecting to get in the last election? I wonder if they had’ve got those numbers would Martin have looked to form a government with SF?

Not a hope. Like it or not FF do actually represent lots of people in society. They would have huge pushback and warnings on doorsteps from their faithful about going in with SF.

Sure a huge amount of the new SF voter are ex FF voters.

He’s some dunce this fella. How secure is his seat in Sligo @anon67715551 ? I think he used top the poll there or close enough so should be safe enough?

SF are basically the same as FF up to the CJH years

One more year of Mickey Martin before Leo rotates in. I don’t know how the government has lasted this long to be honest. Well I do. Covid is saving them.

He’s useless, Donnellys useless, Harris is the master of every brief but his own. Norma Foley hiding. Varadkar is just going around the place pretending he isn’t in government. And Eamon Ryan sure a pure telpus altogether.

Coveney and Pascal are the only two I’ve any time for.

Michael’s stint as Taoiseach might be the ultimate phyrric victory.

Apparently FF were ahead of FG in the latest polls which I was amazed by

Anyone have a sub for a tight cunt?

Never a truer word spoken. Best in the world shouting in from the sidelines but put him in charge of anything and it falls to shit

I think the dinosaur really exemplifies what FF and Martin are all about.
