Blueshirts probably having a conniption after reading that headline.
we should cut welfare payments to encourage the long term unemployed to get a job
Ah yes, more welfare
Tick tock
The ability to carry forward losses to offset profits is available to any company. He’s framing this as if BOI and AIB have found some loop hole in the legislation. What does he propose we do? Remove the ability to offset profits with past losses? That would be moronic.
write off their carried forward tax losses, that would help.
Nice. Make banking more expensive for people. That will help with the cost of living alright.
Dammit, we already make it so expensive to operate a bank here, that KBC and Ulster bank pulled out. Fix that, so we have banking competition, then remaining banks won’t make so much profit. Fucking illiterate politicians with no idea how economics works 🙁
Seems like Pea Doh is playing to the audience here as I’m pretty sure that banks already pay tax on profits. It’s a the same regime as every other company in the country. Banks were even subject to additional levies and other restrictions.
Do Sinn Fein not realise why they keep getting rejected at the polls. Some coherent policies would be nice
“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidise it.”
We can’t keep raising taxes to fund ever more giveaways. It’s not sustainable, just look at the mess the UK is in as pensioners keep voting themselves in new “benefits” while young people get squeezed.
Anyone got info on where he is pulling the “combined €5bn” 2024 profit from? I googled and it was €0.9b and €1.9b type figures, and they were down 33% vs target due to tarrifs etc.
Good idea, do you know who will pay more fees to keep their profits high?
Lots of businesses are making obscene profits, Pearse… why only target the banks, eh?
Alot of sinn fein policies/thinkings do not make sense! Nothing bad against them but often thinking it’s neither practical to do or has to many holes in within it to deliver
The government already sits on a massive surplus and still doesn’t do shit , so how is this going to help?
If anything banks should be legislated to provide some barebones basic services that they haven’t caught up to with their continental counterparts.
Whole lot of boot lickers or bots on this thread
I’ve an idea, how about abolishing the USC, lowering the duty on fuel, stop the tolling of roads and bridges that have paid for themselves 100s of times over.
Stop using the middle class as the economic cash cow and give it all back.
