Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Green Party Leader Eamon Ryan strongly criticise main opposition’s policies on finance and climate change

“The likes of what Matt Carthy is saying, I’m sorry. It’s not just that incident. There are other incidents where he thinks there should not be a single Green TD.There is a pattern where I don’t think they are actually addressing the environmental crisis seriously. I think that has to change.”

“What people in business understand Sinn Féin is saying is they will increase income taxes on a lot of talent who will then take their talent and jobs away,” he said. For his part, Mr Ryan said Mr Carthy’s comments raised questions about some of the leadership in Sinn Féin and their commitment to an environmental agenda.

You need taxes to pay for the crumbling Health Services and to build housing you dopes.

Let cut through the bullshit and speak plainly. FG has to knock SF in order to win back votes. The last thing FG is going to do, is complemented SF in any way. We now face 2.5 years of FG scare tactics. YAWN!!!

Go to any Irish airport any day of the week and see all the talented young Irish people that FF FG and the Greens have let down.

The FG Housing Crisis is destroying the Irish Economy. Everybody knows that.

EamonRyan is a clown LeoVaradkar is a lliar MichealMartinTD was the unwanted Taoiseach MaryLouMcDonald will do anything to be Taoiseach all have a hidden agenda & irish people are just Collateral Damage

.i.

The media just spreading whatever nonsnese that Fine Gael spread. Meanwhile several companies have ACTUALLY said that housing is a huge issue while trying to attract high skilled staff. The housing issue is Fine Gael, Labour, the Greens & Fianna Fáil's fault.

What people in Ireland understand is that a fifth count TD should really focus on where his party has gone wrong.

Where We Came From

Happy New Year from the British Times

The 'talent' can leave any time they want. There are also talented people in lower income brackets, Varadkar, are those people important to you also?

Jail the capitalist scum bags

As distinct to what's happening now 🙄

It’s what happens anyway ……… “there’s nothing here for me” - three tradesman told me the same thing, a plumber, a tiler, an electrician 👍

What Irish people are saying is they are sick of being robbed by tory FFFG and 'people in business'...... 🙄

The usual scare tactics by Official Ireland.

🥱

Talent will leave when they can’t find a place to live, a doctor to treat their kids. Among other issues, this is when they will truly go. Happening already.

Your mean varadkar & his mates will lose their back handers and their Cushy jobs

Better question is: Does FFG and Eamonn Ryan have ANY credibility themselves left Corrupt cronies and jobs for the boys… enough is enough.

The Irish times is the official PR company for FF/FG. Direct bat phone to the government. Get your head out their ass and try showing some opposing views. This government have destroyed the country over the past few years .

I enjoy watching the 'establishment' squirm. Change is finally coming. It's going to get very nasty but everyone needs to hold firm.

First day of the VAT reduction for print media and Irish Times are quoting Leo Varadkar as if it is fact

Comedy gold that corrupt bastid 🤣🤮

Here we go again, we can't run the country but sf are worse? Frk off

Only two? Better than a complete waste like FFG so

FFGG starting too shit themselves, journalists should also note, you all deserve what's coming and a big price you all going to pay for destroying our island, big price.

Is that not happening already, SF are not in power and 1000s are already gone.

No didn’t say that

That VAT cut paying dividends already.

Irish Times running scared from what's coming and can't be stopped and that's a changing of the gaurd. Number 3 hatche job today from leo the leak

How s your policies going fog

Good to read that “[Leo the Forthright] told reporters he would raise questions with Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald about her dealings with former Sinn Féin councillor Jonathan Dowdall once the murder trial of Gerry Hutch and two co-defendants is concluded”.

250,000 people and counting have emigrated since 2012. Now I wonder who he took over in government around then? If only I could remember

Number 3 hatchet job on SF this morning,

IT obsessed with SF.

Oh dear, that’s a positive negative then?

Scare mongering from the FG leader because his own party fails to produce any manifesto of substance. New year yet same old obsolete rhetoric from an out of date leader who has been in government from over 10 years and brought this country to its knees. Highest emigration ever.

You mean blackmail the Irish people?

I think the fast majority see through the dirty politics, or simply the nonsense Leo is well used to spewing!

I've two points to make, the times is a pro ffg Propaganda rag given a 0% VAT rate to hide ffg failures. The second point is ffgs are financially wreckless scumbags. 🖕

Sinn Fein will wreck the place lads

The talent will leave, because they see all of the free hand outs their lazy neighbours are getting. €40k tax free money on health/housing/food or work your ass off to get €80k before tax deductions. No brainer, eventually you will leave Ireland

No SF supporter, but that is objectively not true.

Don’t know what SF will do in government but the criminals of FF, FG and the Greens along with Labour have destroyed Ireland for generations to come. So maybe a change is well and truly needed.

Did they talk about the shit storm we are in at all or was it sf bashing for the whole charade LeoVaradkar rtenews VirginMediaNews

And what about coalition pollicies in housing, homeless, health and fg been in govt for the last 11 years and ff in govt for last 7 when u consider they propped up fg in last govt

If you mean greedy economy crashing bankers paying low taxes and expecting bailouts then .Hooray! Don't let the door hit you on the way out! I'm sure they were all buying papers and fags from the corner shop and supporting the local women's shed.not.

Varadkar is a pathological liar and sinn fein will be no different to the existing cartel. I think the whole country should boycott the next election in protest at the shower of criminals in politics today.

no wonder with leaders like these EU is going down . What a disgrace !

In other words leo the Tory gives his mates the breaks and doesn’t want his cronyism impacted as it’s not good for him

How many high paid jobs have been lost in 2022 with the tech companies and more to come this year apparently and it's nothing to do with tax policy just profits are down time to cut the waste

Slow news day

Our brightest are already leaving.. Better pay and quality of life.. Just as always. Can't afford Ryan's family heating tax

Maybe Sinn Fein will reduce hospital waiting lists and homelessness when in Government How long do you think the criminals in Government now will take to do this

Talent ?

What Ireland needs to do is stop using a FIAT currency backed by nothing. The Bank of Ireland ,AIB and the rest are conplicit in stripping wealth from all Irish people.

The whole goverment have 0 credibility

I'm over 40 employed in IT and talented, no home, crossing my fingers every month that I will have a place to rent. How did my life come to this.

Sinn Fein economics make sense only after a few joints and having your head kicked in 😝😂😂😂

Between Covid, wars and inflation, faith has been lost in the current governing class. Doesn’t matter what side you were on in the civil war all a shower of yaps.

How many years in government and they're doing nothing but slagging the opposition...shows they are afraid of the people's vote

Running scared. Greens are domed

Did we expect anything else.... Leo has just spent the last week rehashing policies he promised before, but never delivered. As for sleepy head 😳
