Business Post 🀣 Tax payers subsidising low income migrant labour (and data centre electricity) so you can exploit the desperate & skirt πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ corporate taxes?

Pass!

Ireland needs investment in its own industry, energy & agriculture. We've been held hostage by multinationals for decades.

While anger over housing gets (mis)directed at asylum seekers.

Who benefits?

The investor funds corporate landlords sit back and rack up the rents & profits.

And renters - Irish & immigrant continue to get robbed & evicted

The real solution is fighting for homes for us all.

Sky News Nice to see how US is handling protests - yet they complain when any other country do the seme
if US used forces against protesters = good
if any other country uses same = evil, no democracy?

Isn't it funny (not) how politicians of US talk about freedom, democracy and state brutality in other countries yet condone and impose this...

In some parts of the country like Roscommon rents in existing tenancies increased by 10% - five times higher than rent cap.
Rents for new tenancies in Dublin are now 2,098 pm, in Kildare 1,633, in Galway 1,410.
Landlords clearly ignoring rules & Govt letting them away with it

Sky News Americans are very good at banging on about their first amendment rights and arrest their own kids for exercising it.

Remind me of the last time the Irish far right protested outside the offices of a foreign vulture fund buying Irish homes or evicting Irish tenants?

Hint: The answer is never. 🫑
