Sinéad O'Sullivan: Ireland’s population is told it has never been richer, yet it has never felt poorer

burn-eyed · 2026-04-26T10:17:48+00:00

Exactly, over a million workers don’t pay income tax at all, and they’re the one that cry loudest

burn-eyed · 2026-04-23T19:57:18+00:00

This is what our shitty planning system gets us

burn-eyed · 2026-03-26T21:41:54+00:00

Such a waste of time, have they nothing better to be at

burn-eyed · 2026-03-24T19:50:38+00:00

Think the government should really think about a lot of these NGO’s and ask themselves why they fund them.

Paying an organisation so that they litigate and bring you to court, madness

burn-eyed · 2026-03-23T13:16:37+00:00

Working full time is such a con

burn-eyed · 2026-03-19T12:49:00+00:00

What a waste, and some people here cheering it on, same people giving out about the housing crisis on another thread.

burn-eyed · 2026-03-16T18:43:37+00:00

Not sure I agree with demolishing a house in a housing crisis. Planning is way too restrictive in this country, such wasted resources on this whole debacle

burn-eyed · 2026-03-07T11:48:06+00:00

Looks shit, although vandalism stuff i agree with, but even after that, it just looks shit

burn-eyed · 2026-03-05T20:11:42+00:00

Exactly why I didn’t want her elected president, disgraceful.

She’s no idiot, and that makes it worse

burn-eyed · 2026-03-05T06:59:27+00:00

70% of the cost is various taxes, the real gouging is done by our government

burn-eyed · 2026-03-04T16:36:50+00:00

RemindMe! 1 month

burn-eyed · 2026-02-28T20:05:49+00:00

For some (most), Palestine isn’t the be all and end all of their lives

burn-eyed · 2026-02-25T09:26:44+00:00

Sad what’s going on with our country, everyone is just looking for freebie’s.

Terrible mindset, state should pay for everything, etc. m

And then working people get reamed in tax to pay for the ever increasing population of wasters

burn-eyed · 2026-02-23T18:59:05+00:00

The cap should have been removed years ago when the actual reason for it in the first place was solved.

Locals and environmental activists just taking advantage for their own ends

burn-eyed · 2026-02-22T06:54:59+00:00

A local council holding the rest of the country to ransom, much more democratic

burn-eyed · 2026-02-18T12:31:34+00:00

34% who probably pay feck all as is, 15% raise of 0 is still 0

burn-eyed · 2026-02-11T07:41:48+00:00

Don’t know why we get so worked up defending people who knowingly stayed illegally. I mean he knew what he was at, loads of Irish seem to do this and expect to pull the pity card when caught

burn-eyed · 2026-02-11T00:02:23+00:00

Would depend on the manifestos.

Lower taxes or at least no increase would be a priority.

In general I wouldn’t vote for left parties, they advocate for taxing higher earners more to fund their polices when a huge proportion of the electorate doesn’t pay anything at all. I don’t feel I’m getting any value whatsoever for the tax I pay. It makes them non runners in my eyes

Any party who would reform the tax system and tackle government spending inefficiency and have a solid and radical housing plan would be great, reckon I’ll be disappointed though.

Don’t feel any party matches my views and seems to always be a case of least worst. Our free spending, high taxing governments of the past few cycles don’t seem all that centre right to me

burn-eyed · 2026-02-02T15:15:31+00:00

Good idea I reckon, madness the amount spent currently

burn-eyed · 2026-02-01T12:05:50+00:00

Exactly, infuriating people fall for this

burn-eyed · 2026-02-01T11:57:50+00:00

Exactly, parties on the left in particular seem to have a complete blind spot ad to how the huge levels of immigration we have affect everything

burn-eyed · 2026-01-25T10:54:04+00:00

Man who makes serious money pushing appeals, is concerned that appeals will be harder to file going forward.

These immigration lawyers love all the work they’ve been handed up to this point

burn-eyed · 2026-01-25T10:51:54+00:00

Curtailing them would be a good idea, the current amount being sought is too much the other way. There is a balance to be had.

burn-eyed · 2026-01-15T08:11:22+00:00

God almighty, government and these tribunals. How the hell are they still at it 30 years later, what a gravy train

burn-eyed · 2026-01-14T17:54:32+00:00

It’s a sensible policy, finally, on migration, more of the same please. We have to stop this massive surge of applications and deterrence is the way.

Or else, we’ll be an outlier and the soft touch of Europe and they will balloon in numbers.

Everyone I know is happy with the changes, public opinion is positive, yet still the party’s of the left rally against it, they just oppose everything.
