@paulmurphy.pbp.ieAn "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.
@wildstate.bsky.socialRegarding #Budget27, the divil will be in the detail
@sharrow.eurosky.social
@davidflane.bsky.socialAnother year, another budget which completely ignores the elephant in the room… the over-reliance of the Irish economy on three major multinational companies. #Budget27
@donnacooney1.bsky.socialAnd floating a youth culture card that like a party trick disappeared! #Budget27
@paulmurphy.pbp.ieWe shouldn't be held hostage to the demands of US multinationals who use Ireland as a corporate tax haven.
This will end at some stage.
The government doesn't have a Plan B, which is why they're doubling down on offering up everything to big tech...

@paulmurphy.pbp.ieAverage families will get increase in income of around 1.4%.
Inflation is running at over 3.5%.
Instead of protecting people from the cost of living crisis, this #Budget2027 is going to mean more deprivation, more poverty and a harder struggle to get by.
@conormatthews.bsky.socialI just tutned 37. Sorry ladies/lads; no free rides this year 😔 #Budget27
@paulmurphy.pbp.ieA tenner a week for ordinary people in #Budget27 while corporations get €186 million in Capital Gains Tax reductions, €120 million in R&D tax credits.
And if you have a shedsit, it's now called a "Designated Auxiliary Dwelling" and you don't have to pay any taxes on it!
@paulmurphy.pbp.ieThe cost of disability is estimated by a government commissioned report to be well over €10,000 a year.
A €500 "cost of disability payment" is nothing short of a sick joke.
It won't even undo the €1,400 of cuts disabled people were hit with last year.
@karlmonaghan.bsky.socialLooks like everything was leaked before hand so looks liek the preliminary calculator is pretty reasonable. All to be confirmed once they release the annexes post speeches. #SpeirGorm #Budget27 #Budget2027
@pauloconnor.bsky.social#Budget27 has not given enough to things I like, and far too much to things I don't like.

@paulmurphy.pbp.ieThose who "get up early in the morning" and take public transport are going to have to pay significantly higher fares.
It would cost the government less money than they gave to the fast food giants in their budget last year to make public transport completely free and expand it...
@pnamblath.bsky.socialAnyone excited about Budget Day??
Me neither
