Keep up the good work
Great news.
But we spent nine and a half billion last month
Great, more money for them to spend on sheds and bike racks!
What will we get for this?
Excellent, now spend 12m on my airport runway.
And build a district heating system to use data centre hot water energy.
And a monorail.
Is that approx the wages of the country per month? It seems so.
That’s a lot of walls and bike sheds !!
87% our corporate tax takes are from US corporations. This is coffin ship levels of terrifying. But, alas, as long as we allow the cream of Irish society (rich and thick) to feed their ill-gotten gains through Isle of Man and Guernsey we are in bad shape and specially with the mop-topped spunk trumpet back in the casa blanca.
Just cut the levels of taxation. Will only be wasted by the state.
Any infrastructure going? 🥹
This is so good. One world class health care system coming up, with excellent child care system, climate crisis mitigation funding, support for national businesses and start-ups, housing availability and affordability, *and* increased state cyber securit—WAIT, YOU’RE GOING TO DO WHAT WITH THE MONEY?
Considering the tax take in Ireland, we don’t really get a lot back in return.
Confidently predict it could be 100 billion and we’d still never build a Metro, DART underground, hispeed rail between the major cities a new prison or anything like 60k homes a year.
And forget about a grow up sober conversation about say a molten salt fission reactor or shock a series of small modular reactors to power our data centres.
Ireland is a country that simply cannot process having money to do stuff and thus will invariably blow the opportunity.
What about a domestic VC startup fund?
Admit it, you read that statement and assume the money would just be wasted on golden projects and jobs for the boys because, it probably would.
Our domestic economy is still remarkably 1:1 and that system doesn’t scale to studious use of national riches to develop the domestic economy.
Why not throw a billion quid at taking a lead on green hydrogen?
“Because we’re only poor stupid paddies” that voice of self unconfidence is holding us back enormously.
We should covert these gains from the international sector to domestic industry.
Denmark, Israel, Finland, Sweden countries of similar or not vastly larger have industrial bases, why not us ?
What’s the use of a sovereign wealth fund that lives in a fund managers balance sheet?
Jesus that’s a lot of money in one month. This will draw the eye of Sauron.
Our problems definitely aren’t money related. I’d like to think the pressure will be on the government to deliver or they’ll be fecked out but I can see a whole load of tax cuts in 2 – 4 years if things go as they are.
Great! Time to spend it all on crony government buddies and government inefficiency !!
Obscene money.
And yet rents and house prices keep going up because there isn’t enough Cost Rental (see [Vienna](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/10/the-social-housing-secret-how-vienna-became-the-worlds-most-livable-city?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other))-type housing being built.
Obviously a result of [migrating geese](https://jrnl.ie/5906229) and not greedy Dáil landlords and their property owning supporters.
Once upon a time we spent fully [20% of our national budget on a hydro-electric dam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_hydroelectric_scheme?wprov=sfti1) for the greater good. But of course housing is not an emergency.
That’s great, also they are gonna find some fucked up, stupid, short sighted way to spend it.
