Was working through the changes on personal taxation for 2025 today with staff.
Iâd reckon they meant to go to January and take advantage of the increase in take home pay.

So the State shouldnât do anything at all bring inward investment in until all problems are solved?
Is Clerkin a bit of a simpleton?
He didnât say that but carry on.
What a dumb reply.
No problem, let me know if you need anything else.
His piece of waffle basically came down to âlocal politician canât do anything else because he is housing minister and should just be doing thatâ. Itâs a shit piece, it would have some value if he could have pointed to specifics of a CBA on why bringing the Open would be a waste of money and better spent on housing. As it is it doesnât provide anything positive to the debate about the Open (or housing, although why that ends up in the sports section is a bit off).
Ah look. If Simon Harris took a shit and smeared it on a wall youâd tell us he was Banksy. Of course its good that its in the sports section. It makes people think about the ever closer and murkier links between sport and business. Whether, the government should spend money on a misogynistic private sports club should be discussed.
O Brien is pathetic as a minister, hiding for years while devising a multitude of schemes which are under utilised because nobody knows what the fuck they are. Zero imagination or attempts at policy, just waving on and hoping the builders keep building. Heâs also a nasty, sleazy fucker personally. Iâm surprised @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy has such close personal links with him but old money dies hard.

Poor Mal is always in a constant state of anguish.
More BS. Go back and read my criticism of this government though Covid.
âŹ40m! Wowsers- no mention of the CBA performed?
Clerkin doesnât even get into criticising the CBA that has been performed on this which shows a several hundred million euro benefit (as does the recent one held near Liverpool). He hasnât even got beyond stage one here of just mentioning big numbers and âwhat about the homeless?!â.
Of course in the case of this event (and similarly ones like the Europa League final and the Emerald Isle Classic), the costs are negligible for the State. This does not involve the construction of one or several new sporting facilities that typically makes hosting sport events a money pit.
In fact a âŹ40m cost for essentially wall to wall advertising over 8 days (including both the menâs and womenâs event) on NBC et al is worth the cost alone before you even get to direct benefits.
Itâs a shit piece, with no serious analysis. Rather, it plays well to an audience of morons.
âLocal politician tries to take credit for constituency benefiting eventâ- hold the phone!
