The people who have gained least from recent growth in tax revenues have been middle income earners who pay high taxes and get few public services. They should be given a break. Also anything over a 50% tax rate is just kleptocracy.

Cutting taxes is absolutely the wrong thing for Ireland. We have massive deficits in housing, childcare, education and health. And the electorate seem to understand this better than many politicians.

It’s so important for the future of Galway that Bonham Quay is successful AND that we maximise the housing density adjacent to it. @GalwayCityCo needs to approve as many housing units as possible in Augustine Hill/Railway station redevelopment. Make Galway City Centre come alive!

The reality of our abysmal ability to add electricity production to our grid is being laid bare. It’s not data centres that are the problem, it’s that we don’t produce enough electricity and what we do produce is ridiculously expensive. We need to follow Finland to nuclear.

Well I made it. 39km in August - 3 x Galway Bay Swims. A rough 2.6km this evening to close it out. A great way to spend a month in the time of Covid. Thanks to all who donated - open for another few days:

Every single one of these would actually decrease tax take, as companies and people would leave the country. PBP would turn us into the European Venezuela. And all derived from a zero-sum beggar-thy-neighbour worldview.

@rtenews Just four PBP measures get over €30bn extra tax 👉 Increase corporation tax rate to 20% = €20bn 👉 2% wealth tax on wealthiest 5% = €5.9bn 👉 Higher income tax rates over €100k = €3bn 👉 Increase employers PRSI to EU norm = €2.6bn

Galway needs the Ring Road as well as BusConnects and cycle lanes. The GCRR would enable the breathing space for the inner city. We need a city of 200,000, not capped at 100,000! Where is the political will @fiannafailparty @FineGael ??

The Greens will try and kill this. If they do they will deny Galway the ability to grow to 200,000 people and beyond. The West of the city will be locked away. We need ALL of GCRR, BusConnects and cycle ways to achieve our potential. And EVs can take care of the climate aspects.

ABP have approved the Galway City Ring Road. Ruining the view of Menlo Castle is the start of the damage this would do. Urban sprawl and a car dependent city. There may be a judicial review and they have to find the money, so this story will run for another while #GCRR
