Ireland politics (Part 1)

40k or 50k it was only a rough estimate based on a single person working. The point still stands.

So it’s ok for O’Brien to rig the system and cream hundreds of millions of € from the Oirish taxpayer because he employs a few people?

Not saying that either Matty. My point is simply that two wrongs don’t make a right.

The Moriarty tribunal found he bribed his way to winning the ESAT license. The same people would have been employed, just by someone more honezt.

Does the fact he employs people allow him free reign to dictate how much interest he pays on loans?

I agree with what you are saying regarding the selling of council houses. They should never be sold at any time and it seems especially dumb selling them at well below market level.

You never answered my question though.

I assume Erica is paying some sort of rent on her new gaff? Isn’t it better that she is doing this rather than living in a hotel at taxpayer’s expense?

That’s exactly what you’re saying. Cos he employs people he should get favourable deals from the state. FG agree with you btw.

How many 23 year old do you know earning 40 k a year?

I did. I want a proper functioning rental market and not the fuck up there is currently.

And joe soap was borrowing at 4% for his home loan. Much less in some cases

Anyway, according to the Sunday Times, Varadkar is planning to increase the debt ratio target from 45% to 55% by 2025. This frees up room for Metro North and the Limerick/Cork motorway. Great news for the citizens of Swords and Munster Rugby.

Their tax was also going towards subsidising Denis O’Brien’s loan repayments.

One for Donegal as well. Nice bit of populism from Leo.

Lovely.

Ponder on the social welfare system and you are automatically a cheerleader for big business.

Huh?

Not you. Some simpleton up above with a load of whataboutery

A nothing story. Many reasons why they could be showing up and the user was probably not even aware there was a connection attempt made
