Fine Gael might not have financially bankrupt the country but they have morally bankrupt it since coming into power in 2011. 2011 Homelessness Figures - 3808 March 2026 Homelessness Figures - 17308 There are now more children homeless in Ireland than there was total homeless in 2011. A damning indictment of their 15 years in government. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1548 - 16/04/2026 11:42:16 2666728 Link 0 |

That it is a damming inditement however these figures also need more scrutiny in light of a near 1mil increase in the population since then. Our Government refuse to have adult & reasonable conversations about the elephants in the room and I'm afraid it's no longer good enough.

For what its worth I agree with you, I believe that the government are doing a very poor job, especially around migration. But I had to correct what he was saying as it was factually incorrect, Fine Gael did not have any part in bankrupting the country. I like to deal in facts, and challenge those who don't. Another fact is that there are 1 million more people in the country today than there was in 2011 (Census figures). So you have to adjust figures accordingly. The majority of that extra 1 million people are net contributers to the economy, but a small proportion have been a burden, both financially and socially to the State. That has to be rectified.

Refusal to have anything to do with the State. That's what I do. Can't stop them collecting tax from wages. Other than that, minimal contact. SF ought to have stayed out of Stormont. Ceasefire was right decision. What followed was not. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 4184 - 16/04/2026 12:34:57 2666738 Link 0 |
