I agree 100% with your posts. I pay savage tax and what I get into my hand after everyone gets their cut is feck all. Banana republic. My teen son smashed his face up recently and we went to A&E in a major south side Dub Hosp. The guy needed immediate surgery.....the wait to see a doctor? 12hrs plus. The lad was passing out in pain. Fughin joke. Called a surgeon mate of mine and he was on the slab 2hrs later being repaired in another hosp. My point is Rep of Ireland relies off the middle classes to keep all in sundry. Our medical service is appalling, our tax situation is outrageous. Our rental property market is so fughed up as vulture funds snap up thousands of apartments from those who invested in the boom. See Elm Pk apartments ....all snapped up by a vulture fund apart from a few remain in private hands...One big reason for this is the govt cleavered all property tax allowances, lumped on extra taxes on struggling landlords that left them either bust or unable to manage their properties re expenses.....now we have a massive property negative bubble where kids can't buy properties, tons of properties lie vacant, banks are still not lending and the rental market is now entering the black market where under the counter money is passed to secure a rental re the latest rental caps. It's a total mess folks and who do I feel sorry for ? The young people- up and coming youngsters haven't a chance in this climate. Sorry for the rant but Font has it in one.
