The next Government

[PROCNA2018]

Well they could look at perhaps looking for better jobs and better pay elsewhere, get trained up or take on second jobs etc.

There is too much of a moaning entitled attitude in this country.

You don't seriously believe that do you?

In fairness there are some who are working but are barely able to get by, Take a couple with two kids, two cars, high rent,
one income, That is far from comfortable,

The average annual earnings for employees in Ireland is €44,202 per year or €3,683 per month (gross salary).

The average weekly earnings is €850.05, according to the latest Earnings and Labour Costs figures released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

Inflation in the past year as well as rising interest rates have a lot of people under pressure.

Shut up ya absolute clown.
A "moaning entitled attitude" is people wanting housing, a good quality of life and good pay.
Get better jobs/get trained up.
What if they have kids and both parents are working full time and no family nearby. You're a c**t of the highest order.
It's 2023. We're-apparently-awash with money yet we've a deficit of 250,000 homes, record homelessness, record hospital waiting lists while those in charge give themselves pay rise after pay rise. The HSE is a disaster yet we spent years pating that fcuking Dublin scumbag Reid €450k per year and gave Watt a €47k per year pay increase.

100,000 new jobs in the past year.

How many of those jobs are permanent?
How many mean people can buy a home?
Home ownership amomgst the younger generation is at its lowest since records began and a record number of 18-30 year olds are living at home.

Stop talking sense Jimmy. The usual crew on here will no doubt lambast you for that.

They should have 3 jobs, live in a tent, no kids and cycle everywhere according to some.

Spot on.
You can spin all you want but a 250,000 deficit in housing supply, 12,000+ homeless and record hospital waiting lists are shameful.
FF/FG=SCUM.

Some people have an entitled attitude and certain politicians encourage that but there are so many people who get up
every morning and work hard for small wages , Reality is we will always need people to do the menial jobs like street cleaning, fast food places,
Maybe if employers didnt exploit these people things would be better for them,

I always hated that term, those workers exhaust themselves daily to earn a crust to survive and play a vital part in our society.
As you said they are exploited and it needs to be addressed.

Absolutely. Totally agree.
They are as tired, if not more tired, than anyone else after a day at work.
Disgusting way to describe their job.

Yea but it wasn't his car it was his wife's. Should they have taxed it? Of course - but I have often gone close to the wire on tax and insurance for simply forgetting. Given his job, checking his wife's car probably wasn't top of his priorities..........alcohol warnings etc...................

Here's my point - go after him for the state of the health service, go after him for trollies, go after him for waiting lists - that's the open goal................going after him for a tax disc for a car is letting him away with what he has actual responsibility for...........

It's not exactly leaking cabinet confidential documents or gaming the planning application process is it?

It's not exactly leaking cabinet confidential documents or gaming the planning application process no - but we've seen both of those being dismissed as non-stories by the shills too.

The fact remains that the Gardai have publicised the fact that they confiscated peoples' cars for being many months overdue in tax. They've even confiscated cars less overdue in tax than the Minister's wife's car. Why do you think that is? Are you unfamiliar with the idea of Caesar's wife needing to be above reproach. And no I don't think that Donnelly is Caesar.

It's rather telling how the shills keep saying this is another non-story as though they weren't trying to dismiss the other issues you list as being non-stories too. Everything that can be taken as being critical in any way of the Government seems to be de facto a "non story" to them

Yea it's not like when he failed to disclose a rental property either.............he didn't gain by not taxing the wife's car.

Wouldn't mess with him though, apparently he is a martial arts head.

Saw that but he still insisted on having a 2 meter fence erected around his property, and I'm fairly sure it was done at the expense of the state.
