Sinn Fein are not a Normal Political Party

[Hank Scorpio]

Compare and contrast to your reaction to Israel trying to wipe out the Palestinians, who are continuously being brutalised by Israeli invaders.

Oh no, Israel.

Ireland's terrorist-linked party does not like you defending yourself against terrorists.

Same org as IRA terrorists.
Helped train PLO terrorists.
WW2 IRA worked for Nazi Germany.

Ok, let's plough through this sh*t one more time :

Twenty-three-year-old Thomas McElwee died in the hunger strikes on in 1981.

On October 9, 1976 one of his fire bombs killed Yvonne Dunlop from Ballymena who died while working in her father’s boutique, Alley Katz.

She was checking a shopping bag left by two girls when the fire bomb went off. She only just had time to shout a warning to her nine-year-old son to escape before she was caught in the fireball and was burned to death.

What kind of an organisation would deem a man who was involved in burning a young woman to death to be worthy of commemorating?

Would anyone in their right mind consider such an oganisation worthy of governing this country?

Surely not.

Also, SF want to raise employers PRSI at a time when many retailers are struggling to stay open because of rising energy and wage costs and are actively looking for government help. This move would drive up unemployment.

They also want to increase inheritance & capital gains tax, I don't think the middle classes, who are looking for an alternative to FF/FG, will go for policies such as this.

SF will be hammered at the next election on their taxation policies.

They also have no coherent climate strategy, other than to oppose the government at every turn.

SF call for 50 eu increase in dole wont go down well with the voters they are trying to attract, Many potential first time sf
voters are the squeezed middle, People who wont be happy with the idea of paying out an extra 50eu,
Of course welfare rates will need to be increased but not by that amount.

Nail on the head.

He chose to die.

Yvonne Dunlop did not.

Burnt alive in front of her 9 year old son.




Sinn Fein think that blaming access to a government report for having no climate change policy is credible on the one of the most pressing issue facing the planet. It's total nonsense. They hammer the Green party when they don't have a policy themselves



Agreed on PRSI, most small to medium businesses are pinned to their collar as it is. Like O'Broin's lunatic property 'solutions' the Shinner policy simply has no basis in working in the real world.

I think that EOB is pointing out the craziness of a tax system that gives tax breaks to vulture funds and huge investor-landlords with scores and indeed hundreds of properties let, while at the same time taxing individual property landlords. These landlords of individual properties are thus being forced out of a market where there is not a level playing pitch and if the properties are remaining in the rental market they get hovered up by the much larger multiple landlords with tax-breaks or otherwise they're sold out of the rental stock which in turn ups the demand for the investor-landlord's multiple properties. These mega landlords are on a tax-free win/win in an uneven playing pitch which has been set up by the government.

Investor-landlords issuer aside, think people renting property always knew that a tax bill came with being in the rental market game.
It's not the tax so much as the red tape and hassle with renting these days. Dealing with RTB just sucks the life out of you and is time consuming. Landlords now dealing with mortgage interest increases but not allowed to pass on any of the increase to tenant if in a rent pressure zone.
Neighbours (an accidental landlord) were renting for years to friend of a friend and kept the rent at same level for over a decade, as tenant was known to them, didn't disturb the neighbours and kept the property in good nick.. When she left, RTB told them that they had to maintain rent at level of old tenancy even though inferior properties close by were getting way more. They just sold up.

Is it any wonder people see Air bnb as a better option,

No point adding fuel to the fire during an inflationary cycle thus adding to inflation.

The €50 is just populism raw meat for its base as we are better off reducing costs and charges like vat on fuel, back to school costs, public transport, food costs etc.

Smart and ballsy landlords would be on long term fixed rates, tax breaks for landlords are a daft idea which that sector aren't even looking for..

Air BNB is a major hassle, surely a steady income with minimum hassle is what any landlord would want from their investment.
