Well written @thinkorswim.bsky.social
Battery electric trucks will beat a diesel powered freight train CO2 except on long runs (see North West to Waterford Port twice weekly). Shortage of drivers is bigger issue.
More ports need to facilitate rail but no money for them either. #Budget2027

It doesn't have to be like this. Check out our fully costed alternative budget here: www.pbp.ie/alternative-...

You can also see the full #Budget2027 speech on Youtube:

A disgrace.

The cost of disability is estimated by the government's commissioned report to be €10,000-€15,000 a year.

A temporary €500 "cost of disability payment" is nothing short of a sick joke.

It won't even undo the €1400 of cuts disabled people were hit with last year.

Full #Budget2027 speech here:

An "I'm all right Jack" budget.

#Budget2027 is for landlords, big business, and the armaments industry.

Nothing for ordinary people to overcome the massive cost of living crisis that continues to get worse.

More people strugglingto put food on the table and heat their homes.

Are you happy with #Budget2027?

Our News Correspondent Zara King spent the day in Skibbereen Co. Cork with those who were part of April's fuel protest and got their reaction to today's announcement.

#VMNews

Real lack of strategic vision in FFFG #Budget2027: short-term giveaways dominate with little structural investment that would lower child care costs, address housing costs or sustainable reduction in energy costs.

Why does RTÉ News take as its #Budget2027 single person with no dependents case someone with €75K income when the median full-time income is about €50K and it is likely that those with no dependents skew lower

And unfortunately, #Budget2027 sees funding for greyhound racing going up:

2027: €20.4m
2026: €19.8m

Mirroring a similar pattern over the last twenty years (adjusted for inflation):

2025: €19.8m (€20.5m)
2020: €16.8 (€21.5m)
2015: €13.6m (€17.5)
2010: €11.8m (€15.9m)
2005: €13.6m (€19.5m)

Thousands in emergency accommodation, HSE in an absolute mess, Teachers striking over wages, Generations now unable to even rent, never mind buy a home, but yea, millions for organised crime groups, I mean for horses and greyhounds pfffffffffft #SpéirGorm #Budget2027

The BusConnects Dublin Road project in Galway has had planning permission for over a year. No mention of any funding to build it in #Budget2027 or the press releases. It would have greatly improved bus journey times and cycling safety in Galway. #speirgorm

Have you got children in childcare?🎒

Well our reporter Mairéad Cleary has everything you need to know about today's #Budget2027 announcement.

Let me see if I’ve got this straight… The Irish government has reduced corporation tax, reduced inheritance tax, and reduced personal income tax by increasing various thresholds. All while increasing government spending? #Budget2027 #SpéirGhorm
