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
