Climate action should mean holding the biggest polluters and the wealthiest responsible, not squeezing working people.
It should and could mean improving people's lives, making things easier and cheaper.

The third level education sector has a €240m funding shortfall
(they got €10m in #Budget27).

FFG & its alumni are happy to give a €200m tax cut to the rich via a reduction in CGT rather than fully funding the education the next generation.

€10m for universities,
€20m for greyhounds.

"It's workers who create wealth in this country, that's the basis of our economy... and that's who should be prioritised in this budget, as opposed to prioritising the wealthiest in the vague hope that somehow it's gunna benefit the rest of us!"

#Budget27 doesn't benefit ordinary people.

A lot of the talk around the inheritance tax is a red herring for allowing multi-millionaires and billionaires to pass on enormous amounts of wealth to the next generation.

All while ordinary people struggle to make ends meet and put food on the table for their children.

The 'Help to Buy' Scheme is a Help to Profit scheme for developers.

The lobbyist group CIF didn't even hide why they were pushing for it.

Our landlord government represents those who profit off of people's housing misery.

This government is a fucking disgrace.

The government is abandoning any pretense that they planned to tackle the climate crisis, while they sell out an ever-increasing amount of our electricity, water, and people's data to data centres & AI.

A landlord budget from a landlords' Dáil.

Rent-a-room scheme now includes shedsits, with up to €16,000 tax-free for landlords.
But renters will NOT be true tenants, not entitled to any rights as a tenant, not entitled to renters tax credit, etc. and can be evicted at a moments notice.

' #Budget27 puts public finances on a 'worse trajectory', watchdog* says'

*'watchdog' = The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council: 'responsible for providing an honest and independent assessment of how the Government is managing the public finances and the economy.'

I may have missed it, but I didn't hear anything in #Budget27 about storm preparedness, food security, or emergency planning.

They don't matter I suppose 🙃

IFAC missed a trick with their "Fast & Loose" flash #Budget27 release by not working in Flaithiúlach somewhere.

This is very very far from an important point about #Budget27, but why do they still need to print the giant books for TDs?

They all have phones to read the PDF on the website like the rest of us.

Did they finally fit the printer in the door?
What happened to the CD-Roms & USB keys?
#IrishPol

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.

Does the Greyhound racing industry have a stack of Polaroids locked in a drawer or is there some other explanation
#budget27

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.
