Imagine the votes that could have been won campaigning on ending horse racing and doggy racing.

Look, the prize money for poor craturs like Michael O Leary and the Aga Khan needs to be found somewhere.

Itâs supporting the burger and sausage indigenous industry. And black pudding. And vegetarian sausages.
I agree thereâs a rotten and horrendous elements to both sports which needs to be weeded out and eliminated. And every person involved in that aspect of it dealt with in the most severe way.
But you canât argue with the return the government gets off a relatively inexpensive investment. And I say that as someone who would love to see more municipal sports facilities.
The middle classes in Ireland are a pack of wankers. They are convinced the world owes them a living and will just about take anything that isnât nailed down to improve their own lot.
Letâs make 20k to 30k unemployed so we can have more running tracks around cities.
Maybe If folk done an honest days work they wouldnât need to spend their evenings running around a track.
Huh?

Does the transfer of taxpayer funds in the guise of prize money and tax breaks to the pockets of the super rich like Magnier, OâLeary et all not leave a sour taste?

O Leary is losing fortunes anyway buying horses. Would have to look but doubt it covers his training fees for a year.
Those yards employ lots of young people part time and full time.
Girl im friendly with rides out two or three lots most mornings in Jessie harringtons before heading to school for her day job.
Dunno on magnier heâs created a lot of employment in rural areas but he does fuck acting with the buying of land.
Not certain how they tax sire fees but that should be doing right.
Remove all benefits for maybe anybody with land over 500 acres too or something like that.
Itâs always the same in Ireland just whinge and moan about wanting more and wanting everything on your door step too. I want to live here and work in my dream job.
You ever go to like New York or somewhere and you meet folk from the other side of America and they had to come there for work. They couldnât stay at home and work in their dream job.
We literally donât realise how lucky we have it in Ireland. I saw somewhere recently compared to the rest of Europe we have ridiculous percentages of people attending college now but yet still we see fit to complain about everything. It does my head in.
The Nazis employed people in gas chambers too. I know jobs were lost but it was the right thing to do to close them down.
Those people currently working in the horse & greyhound abuse industry should be imprisoned, rehabilitated & then assisted in finding work in other industries.

Simple solution to the housing crisis is to build housing estates on every single gaa pitch in Ireland.
As we know the gaa fans are true gaels and will offer the land for free to solve our crisis.
Swap golf clubs for gaa clubs and youâre going the right way.

Maybe they could use the taxpayer money they receive to pay those people a decent wage.
OâLeary losing money is his business but multi millionaires receiving public funds in the form of sports winnings is wrong, whatever way you look at it.

Id ear mark the golf clubs for growing carrots. Carrots grow great in sandy soils I learned recently and my grand mother used to tell me they improve your eye sight if you eat enough of them.
I wonât fall out over it with you.
O Leary didnât go to Switzerland or somebody Kip to avoid paying his taxes. He employs plenty and heâs losing fortunes buying horses. He pays his bills and the money does eventually work its way down a long the ladder.
Running tracks are surely to be encouraged.
Trickle down economics doesnât work.
Tax the rich.
Use the money to fund community developments.
