‘Escape’ from a stupid place that they chose to go to. Fuck off
So our taxes are used on people who left Ireland to stop paying tax
All of them are from cavan.
>The Government is laying on free buses that would cross from Dubai through Oman to Muscat, a journey expected to take several hours before arriving at the airport for the charter.
>While the Government is bearing a portion of the cost of the flight, adults will be expected to pay €800 a head, with under-16s travelling for free.
This seems reasonable from the Government, they’re helping with some of the costs, but also getting people to pay their fair share.
Are rescue flights normally charged?
The 800 is perfectly priced.
Ensures nobody is excluded, but also ensues those who need it the most available of it.
Its not a war zone. Its adjacent to a war zone, but shells (bar the odd shrapnel) are not dropping wholesale. Scary, but not a place you have to immediately leave in fear of your life. If it was free, all the influencers would just use it for a free holiday back home.
Hardly surprising people who moved abroad to avoid tax are refusing to pay for a service.
We shouldnt dwell, if that have refused this help then they shouldnt be offered more (beyond consular assistance).
I think the Government’s offer is a reasonable one to be fair – and I say that as someone with a family member living in Abu Dhabi.
€800 seems reasonable enough. They can use some of the tax money they saved from living in a slave state.
I think it is important to remember that a good chuck of the half of people who refused the offer wouldn’t have a home in Ireland.
Fair enough they’re looking to get something back on this and reduce costs but it’s basically the first time this government has tried any way to recoup costs and they’ve tried it with Irish citizens in a war zone which is shit.
It’s a nominal amount in the scheme of the government budget and considering they’re spending over €1m a day on emergency accommodation for non citizens fleeing the same sort of war zones you’d think they’d just let it go.
Teachers are back. Coppers im coming
Maybe they can use the money they’ve saved from living in a tax free modern slave state
People really underestimate the cost of this charter, asking an airline to risk their aircraft in the gulf for a one way flight with no return fair.
You’re essentially paying for the aircraft for both legs of the long flight to Ireland and wherever it had to come from empty.
Seriously reasonable.
Sorry, really sorry. But Dubai is fine. I have a brother over there right now. I texted him this morning was everything ok and he said it was all quiet. He’s off to play golf with the lad.
These are people that are generally vapid by nature, tax adverse and able to ignore mass cases of race based classism so I’m not surprised they feel they’re special enough to not have to reach into their pockets to get out of harms way.
Probably not the place for it but I’ve a return flight from NZ that’s due to travel through dubai tomorrow. It’s not been cancelled officially and I’ve already arranged alternative transport via god-damn Houston Texas BUT…
will i get my money back? They’ve refunded only about a quarter of the ticket price. Is that it??
This is a non-story. Half the people turned it down. Many of these people:
1. Feel like it is safe enough to ride it out.
2. Feel like they will eventually be able to fly out commercially
3. Don’t have a reason to come back to Ireland as they probably don’t have a home to return to
And point #3 is a big one. Okay, you fly back and then you have to pay $200/night for a hotel, eat every meal out, etc until you manage to secure a rental?
That is not a bad price to be honest. Surely people living tax free can afford that?
If youve enough money to go to Dubai on Holidays. Surely you’d be happy to pay €800 for your safety no?
Nah they are turning it down because it’s so safe there. Really safe. The glorious Sheik is keeping everyone fully safe at all times. They are really safe in their skyscraper homes. Safest place in the world, did you not know? Really, really, really safe.
But if they leave they won’t be able to make their in peril social media posts
Move abroad to avoid paying tax, then get angry when asked to pay for repatriation. What a world.
What happens to Irish people that return to Ireland but have no where to live?
They are entitled to nothing, serious cheek. They pay no tax here
