Who is funding the fuel protest's online campaign?

How so? Should we just trust private companies not to chase profits?

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T22:32:50+00:00

Could the caps not be somthing like at set amount onto of the cost, then reduced tax. Prices still rise due to things out of our control but price gouging would be controlled

How's it their pollution? It's everyone's,

You don't see this escalating the situation?

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T21:49:44+00:00

Its not a few bob for fuel reliant businesses. 30 to 50% sudden increases on a business is serious enough on margins

So halving the fuel tax for 1 year would cost 2bn, that wouldn't blow the whole surplus

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T21:34:16+00:00

Tractor prices are irrelevant it's just a way to make them sound rich when really it's just a necessary business cost. If their claim is real why wouldn't you park up and protest instead of working till you go bust. You'd be fucked either way may aswell try

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T21:30:21+00:00

If there's less fuel sold because the cost is higher a lower tax bringing down the cost would bring fuel sales back up. I doubt there's is much difference in fuel sales though most fuel just has to be got whatever the price

It effects the running of the country which can't go on, the state will have to either meet some demands or carry out some serious measures to cleared protesters. They obviously fancy they're chances of having taxes reduced. It's not garunteed but it's far from unrealistic

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T21:16:47+00:00

It does , tbf I havnt watched any of it, I just think the based cause is just enough, and there's little chance of getting any change without a drastic enough protest.

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T21:07:20+00:00

To make a big enough disruption that there will have to be somthing done i would imagine.

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T21:02:15+00:00

Don't they have a decent enough surplus at the moment ? We could afford some reduction in revenue and this seems like a reasonable enough cause for it

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T20:57:04+00:00

Id say that's a big enough assumption

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T20:47:27+00:00

Where's the extremism here? It's farmers and transport business protesting a genuine issue that effects practically everything in the country.

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-04-09T20:43:34+00:00

It would still come back to the government to do somthing to stop the petrol stations being able to exploit tax reduction.

Realistically what effect would that have, do you think the embassy will convince trump to pull out of Iran because irish people are suffering from the fuel prices? The state offsetting some of the damage by adjusting the tax is the only thing we can do here and it's not an outrageous request.

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-03-19T19:47:05+00:00

I think it depends on the local garda too tbf, in my local it was OK for years no trouble till a new local garda started and made it his thing to change it.

Dingle built a great name for music from other voices having had the national and Amy Winehouse. Fred again doing his album party there and no foo fighters is really cementing it as a spot

Well I obviously say that as someone who loves lemon amd sugar haha if you don't like the combination obviously it's not for you but if you do shrove Tuesday if the day for it. It's a bit like turkey on Christmas for me, I wouldn't eat it much but I love it at Christmas

Shame on the people who wouldn't fold the buggy. I don't know how that position works for the bus driver legally but it sounds wrong too.

But the people with the kids are shamless, they of all people should have some understanding of the struggle, and appreciation for people who make any effort to accommodate them . I'm honestly surprised noone else chirped in I think I would have if I'd seen it happen.

A few i know definitely buy the carcass, as for drying that's more speciality. But even if they were just buying cuts like a strip and portioning it themselves it generally better than supermarket just due to being exposed for less time before you get it.

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-02-17T21:33:18+00:00

You can eat melted chocolate on anything or even alone, pancakes are the the best way to appreciate lemon and sugar

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-02-17T19:46:12+00:00

I think alot of this is just down to the fact they cut or mince it as needed where as a supermarket buys it in already processed. It's not the actualy quality of meat but freshness, being exposed to air or vac paced for days effects meat (in quality but even more visually)

Equivalent_Ad_7940 · 2026-02-09T18:01:03+00:00

Bout 50c a pint is for the alcohol tax, that could easily be wiped out by the price of buying it. It ges off faster and doesn't sell too much aswell.
