The last estimate was that more than Ireland’s annual GDP passes almost completely untaxed through the IFSC every week, but today we have Revenue marching through Henry St in case Seasonal Workers aren’t playing 100% by the tax rules.

Sad that journalism has been taken over by opinion rather than fact.

Unless you have the brain of a turnip you can see that billionaires have stolen this country and every other one. And that it is they who are trashing everything.

The idea of a "rotating Taoiseach" is utter bollocks. Elect either the leader of the biggest party or the best person in government parties suited to the job, then shut up and get on with it. It's the most important job in Ireland, not a time-share for fragile entitled egos. #SpeirGorm #GE24

Displace or Die. Terrified people fleeing the Israeli military in Northern Gaza. This is ethnic cleansing. And you can’t claim ignorance.

We have a much bigger problem with poverty pay than we do with “too many people not paying enough tax” and we still have the worst market income inequality in the EU. Note: the living wage is €597 per week

Isn't it amazing how in election time Dublin always turns it back on the rest of the country... GE2024

Delighted for Rory Hearn... My Money is on SF to finish second here but yet again for FG to hold the keys. Rotating Taoiseach again, more lack of balls from MM and more disrespecting of the highest office with child games.

Douglas Murray thinks the army should be sent in to deal with immigrants because he doesn't want them here. If you don't want Douglas Murray and his hate here, Like. If you really don't want him RP.

Fianna Gael ... The Non Republican Party

If only our 2 so called Republican parties could come together and put their past behind them for the future of our nation. We are meant to be a representative democracy. Martin would have to go and FF would need go back to their roots. For an added bonus throw in the SocDems. #GE2024

The tallying of votes is well under way at count centres across the county, with early tallies in Wicklow indicating that Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly is in trouble there #Election24

Heavily caveated etc, but the only blockage to the most secure majority is Micheal Martin and yet the party with the most to lose is the Soc Dems, who appear to have had a great election. Politics, bloody hell.

There may be no far-fight parties, but there are plenty of far-right TDs, both among established parties and independents (and Aontu are a far-right party, they just haven't realised it yet).

A lot of uninformed nonsense floating around about Sinn Féin’s housing plan. Here on this #EchoChambersPod with Eoin Ó Broin we laid out the facts and debated the proposal properly. Pls listen or send to anyone unsure of what it actually proposes. #GE2024: open.spotify.com/episode/01uQt8…
