    And during this time we broke records of homelessness again and again. Thousands upon thousands of homeless children.

    No problem, FFG will set fire to it and it will be gone, with none of that annoying infrastructure lark messing up the place.

  6. Has anybody done an analysis of what happens to Ireland if the AI bubble crashes? Presumably all tax from Tech Companies will dry up but will there be knock on impacts on banks, construction etc?

    Good thing as well there is surplus, I was reading about a lot of departments going over their budgets for last year. I genuinely worry about what will happen if tax revenue does not meet or exceed projections.

    And how much of that will be siphoned away to the developers in sweet heart deals including purchasing new build houses at open market rates.

    Not to mention the scandal of the billions transferred to the already wealthy landlords via HAP.

    A lot of people here complaining which is understandable but also good to keep some perspective.

    Government is constantly getting the CSO to publish these big picture numbers reminding us how good the economy is doing. But on the ground small picture feels a lot different. It feels like standard of living is getting worse for the average person. My parents had a much higher standard of living/ quality of life.

    On the positive side, we could be in a much worse scenario. Just look at the UK. we found a cheat code. A handful of giant American businesses are keeping government programmes going. The UK has been in austerity mode since 2012. Over a decade of cuts has decimated entire communities.

    And believe it or not, Ireland has by far the lowest rate of tax revenue to GDP. We are around 21% compared to the European average of up around 40%. Be careful what you wish for !!. We have come a long way since the financial crisis, a short 10 years ago.

    Problems yes of course but….
