The next Government

[SoundMan]

Heard it was a pity. Two liars and bluffers shouting over each other,

I'd be surprised if Eoin O'Broin shouted over him - don't think I've ever heard him shout tbh.

If it's as you claim jimmy (was it in the Harp, on Facebook, or Whatsapp that you "heard" about it?) they were shouting over each other, it doesn't say much for whoever was supposed to have been moderating said debate.

Mick Barry was on the radio yesterday saying that we should increase the corporation tax to 25% even when it was pointed out to him that the international tech sector is currently struggling and we along with all the other OECD countries are raising it to 15%

Regina Doherty had to point out to him that the current tax take funds 25% of public services etc and Norn Iron has a corporation tax rate of 25% and does not get the investment + all the other benefits like jobs and investment that other countries would love to take off us.

He wants the State to nationalise them and just get the Government form their own tech giants.

Barking mad as per usual.

Did Mick Barry actually go nuclear-nutcase and say that the Irish state should nationalise multinationals like twitter and facebook - surely even Mick Barry isn't that thick!

Or is this just more of your lies?

Wouldn't be surprised if he did, didn't his fellow comrade Coppinger want to nationalise Dell.
He is that thick by the way.

What a bluffer just like yourself coining it in at taxpayer expense.

You do know what People Before Profit are even about?

The public own everything via nationalisation.

End the market tyranny over housing supply - nationalise the large construction companies and use them to build massive amounts of social and public housing

• Generic Pharmaceutical Industry. The Irish state currently gives around €700 million to companies in order to do research and development (R&D) here. People Before Profit would begin to re-direct that money into a state-run pharmaceutical industry dedicated to producing drugs that could be sold below the cost of branded alternatives. Thanks to years of neoliberal tax breaks, Ireland already has the people and the facilities to make a state-run pharmaceutical industry a success.
• State-Led Oil and Gas Exploration. People Before Profit is dedicated to making Ireland carbon neutral. We are also opposed to the issuing of any more licences for oil and gas. Instead, we need to take control of all existing operations and prospecting in order to use some of the available oil and gas to provide the resources to make the transition.

A State-Run Construction Company. Ireland is caught in the grip of a major homelessness and housing crisis. It would be possible to build many more new units via a state-run construction company.

Going on RTE drivetime yesterday wanting the State to take over multi-nationals.

 

[SoundMan]

But surely there's nobody THAT thick.
Come to Ireland with your private company and employ thousands, and generate good jobs which pay well and feed into the Irish tax system, and by the way, run the risk that some lunatic will take over and nationalise your company??????

Even if we suspend the disbelief and imagine that private foreign companies would actually come here to do that, how on earth would MB suggest a company like Facebook would get nationalised in Ireland????

If he's that stupid fair enough, but is he so stupid as to think others are as stupid or even more stupid than him to believe it could and should happen?

The only reason Mick takes the payrise and expenses is to stop some wealthy banker getting it instead, Mick is so unselfish that way.

You would think that with all that lolly he would have set up his own Pfizers or Apple etc?

Put down the megaphone and get coding or do some pharma research....

Meanwhile up north MLAs pay is to be cut, not before time,

Meanwhile up north MLAs pay is to be cut, not before time,

6 week extension with an option for another 6 weeks is taking the piss.
Democracy should be respected. What better way for it to be respected than with the ultimate expression of it at the ballot box per legislation. This is essentially caving to DUP UDA tantrums.
