Ireland politics (Part 1)

Fantastic story if true

Yes, Fine Gael.
Progress - me bollox
Equality - 1 female in 9 ministers
Democracy - vastly more guillotined legislation than any government before
Sustainability - mooted tax breaks coming up to an election despite a vastly underfunded public service

fastest growing economy in the developed world under Kaiser Noonan. We’d be like North Korea under the Sinners

A cod of a statistic given start level and where the growth is coming from.

We’re back

Irish Exchequer Returns: Tax receipts to end June show cumulative tax receipts were up €805m or 4.1% on target thanks to an excess of €606m in Corporation Tax revenues which are up 28.1% on the target. Total net voted expenditure to end June was €304m or 1.5% below target.

The Exchequer statement for the first half of 2015 was published Thursday by the Department of Finance and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It shows that the Exchequer deficit at end of the second quarter 2015 stood at €292m. Excluding all of the substantial one-off transactions the underlying Exchequer position is showing a year-on-year improvement of c. €2.7bn due to increased tax and non-tax revenue and reduced expenditure.

Income tax receipts of €8.31bn were collected to end-June 2015, a year-on-year increase of €478m or 6.1%, and was slightly above target (€54m or 0.7%). For the month of June, income tax receipts amounted to €1.27bn, which were exactly on target.

The first six months of the year saw VAT receipts of €6.00bn collected which represents an increase of €441m or 7.9%, when compared to the corresponding period last year and is marginally above target (€36m or 0.6%). VAT receipts for June, were €54m (15.6%) below target, but as June is a non-due month, these monthly figures are of limited use on their own.

He still needs a platform though as he has nothing on the ground there. Once the Dáil closes shop he will have to campaign locally as an independent.

Michael Noonan is a Saint

No, I am not on about my “crusty fuck”, you beaky illiterate cunt.

Weirdly, he’s physically very similar to a sheep.

Are you from the constituency Tim? I would have thought donnely’s national profile would be a great advantage.

Well FFFGLAB have proven time after time that they are against these things

Just been reading about Bertie at the Banking inquiry, jesus he has some neck on him. In his opening speech to the inquiry he had parts in it taken word for word from his book. As much as you can hate the cunt you just cant help admire the brass neck.

He will run rings around the fools on the Banking inquiry.

The cunt is right about one thing, the 700 clowns in the central bank and regulator’s office should be strung up.
