@darylfeehely.comAnd there's the FFG rub.
@darylfeehely.comI see the demand side horse is still going strong despite being flogged for years.
@darylfeehely.comAh here

@darylfeehely.comIf only we had taken advantage of negative borrowing costs post-covid, when we would have been paid to borrow.
But we couldn't because Paschal was afraid of the ghost of austerity.
Handy that.
@darylfeehely.comSo now it's only €350 above what it was.
@darylfeehely.com"“We need to be careful to ensure that we’re protecting jobs, that we’re not driving inflation by increasing the price of a cup of coffee by increasing national minimum wage,” Higgins said."
Protecting jobs is FG code for protecting employer profits at the expense of workers' pay.
@grouchymarx.bsky.social@darylfeehely.comFor the second week in a row I'm sharing this piece about the Yugoslavia match because for the second week in a row a gov Min is on #RTEtwip talking out their arse on what the gov could have done.
Emer Higgins this week, Dara Callery last week.
@darylfeehely.comWell done Jennifer Whitmore!
Oireachtas Committee testimony created solely from AI should most definitely not be accepted as expert opinion.

@darylfeehely.comSomebody got a promotion. 😂
@darylfeehely.comLeo was spouting this tripe too.
The public have been showing solidarity for yrs & the gov still pretend they don't know what solidarity is & try to frame it as transactional.
How is he defining benefit anyway, because solidarity is of benefit even if he wants to discredit it.
Slíbhín
@darylfeehely.comNice of them to give us our pocket money before the budget.
@darylfeehely.comSome great in-situ reporting of the racist fuel protestors "monster meeting" here.
Listening to the interviews & clips, I'm unsure as to whether monster refers to the size of the meeting or the attendees & speakers.
@darylfeehely.com"...we look back on when the Irish government refused to allow a match between Ireland and the Serbian predecessor Yugoslavia take place."
A quick search shows Dara Calleary is talking out his arse here.
