Budget 2023

Exactly which part of "I don't recall" about something that wasn't posted for 5 years before I ever came on PROC are you having difficulty with exactly? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Your decision to not bother your hole to search before you made that assertion and all the other ones which were also wrong.
Better to try to muddy the water with a bit of whataboutisim for your party. It's your usually strategy on here to say I can't recall then you can say whatever the fuck lie you want after it and that's ok. You used a similar stick when you were libeling Marie Cahill.

My poor party gets such an unfair deal on here, you are all shills.
Etc etc etc for ever.

Also there are multiple Dan Boyle threads from 2011 the year you joined and at least one from 2012. Just more lies on your part.

MLMD on 96fm picking holes in the budget, mentioned the word certainty within 10 seconds , says they didnt do enough for renters, critical of the move to extend free GP care, jesus wept,

Tbf, it would be a welcome policy but as in most of Europe we don't have enough GPs to administer the policy. I thought Doherty did well in what was a tough budget to respond to but your one Farrell shadowing McGrath in Public Expenditure is a pity. In the dail she went with some bizzare wardrobe malfunction metaphor but got completely lost in it. Her colleagues were just staring at the floor. McGrath in fairness took pity on her and just ignored her. Likewise last night on Virgin , he had to explain few things to her as if she was a child.
I'd say if he said anything more he'd be hammered for mansplaining.

Cormac o heardra on drivetime put it to Doherty that the criticism Doherty had of the increased GP scheme, were more or
less what Cullinane was promising,
 
Lets say things stabilise next year energy cost wise, inflation drops, Good luck to the government if they
try to drop welfare rates,
Welfare rates will not be falling and there may well be more one-off payments to help with bills next years if inflation spirals out of control as there is €6 billion put away as a contingency sum.

Sinn Fein now have a big All-Ireland problem as welfare rates are now much lower in N.I.
Tax:
South: 40% threshold at €40k.
North: 40% threshold at €56k.

Do Sinn Fein support north taxpayers' taxes increasing sharply, or slashing south taxpayers' taxes by introducing a North threshold?

Mortgage rates are going to go through the roof shortly in N.I. & the U.K. with at least a 10% fall in property prices as well as a sterling/cost of living crisis.

Everybody got something but some will feel they're group got less. I mentioned mortgage paying people on €35K not getting a whole pile from this in contrast to those on welfare or earning €40K or more yesterday. Over the course of time they may fare better. Reducing the SRCOP back to €39K or reducing welfare eligibility by the stroke of a pen could happen within 18 months. The global outlook is not good.

SF looking for certainty is a bit like Stephen Kenny trying to get Erling Haland to declare for Ireland. There is no certainty anywhere about anything in 2022 except in probably basket case state Nothern Ireland with it's non functioning economy, democracy or political system.

Someone on €35k would have a mortgage of around €120k max. given bank lending conditions. Repayment on a mortgage of €120k would be in the region of €600 a month.

That’d be less than 30% of their take home pay. They’re doing alright given the fact they own their own home tbh

Inflation won't drop, it might stabilise but it won't drop. I wouldn't worry too much about the possibility of needing to drop welfare rates tbphwy.
