Agree.Especially when the tax relief tail is purely speculative.
We really don't do targeted measures unless you're on the dole or retired. If a measure falls outside those groupings we all get it. Just look at the electricity credit.Agree.
Legally and practically it would be very difficult to give MIR to those on trackers but not the rest of us.
I'd no way of adding a sarcasm note there! ;-)Don't let the tax relief tail wag the dog.

Sinn Fein/IRA will wreck the economy. It’s crucial that this particular drum is banged over and over again.Not an SF supporter, but, yawn...

Arguing the relevant point(s) on their facts/merits would be better than ad-hominem name calling which adds nothing to the debate.Sinn Fein/IRA will wreck the economy. It’s crucial that this particular drum is banged over and over again.
Totally agree with this. Those under 35 have no real memory of the IRA. What they do have memory of is the various crises that have taken place under FF/FG. When FF/FG attack SF over IRA ties, it reeks of a knee-jerk reaction to deflect fom their own failings, and a focus on the past rather than fixing the policy issues of today.If it's any consolation, Martin and Varadkar are making the same mistake. Talking about SF's policies rather than their own.
I would worry about the sound bites from Sinn Fein. Eg homes for all etc. You rightly point out looking at our nearest neighbours. Look at the effect the mini budget had on their economy.Totally agree with this. Those under 35 have no real memory of the IRA.

There is plenty to attack in SFs policies, as has been demonstrated in this thread. Name calling only serves to divide and alienate people, and create an "us vs them" mentality where people become further entrenched in their beliefs rather than moving towards one another. We only need to look at our nearest neighbours east and west to see examples of where that ends up.
