The recent subsidy to fuel costs over €1billion.
One of the arguments Eamonn Ryan used against making public transport free was that if they did that, people would use it too much.
Meanwhile a recent survey found Dublin the most traffic congested EU capital city.

Looked it up: Apparently Dublin Bus earns around €400m from fares per year. DART passengers spend about €80m on tickets. So ~€500m would make public transport free in the capital.

Politicos, hacks, news organisations and buffoons like Stephen King still clinging on to pretending it’s alright to *PAY* Elon Musk to use his platform - or be on it for a start.
You’re funding a man calling on hundreds of thousands of people to carry out acts of violence.

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

This is obscene.
#Eurovision is not “neutral and non-political”. It rightly excluded Russia from the competition due to its aggression against Ukraine.
The double standard on Isreal is sickening.
Screw boycotts. Ireland needs to withdraw permanently.

It took FIFA 5 seconds to suspend Russia after the 2nd invasion of Ukraine, and yet Israel is still a member.
In addition to maiming or murdering *multiple* Palestinian footballers over the years, they just put Celine Haidar, a 19yo player for the Lebanon woman's team, in a coma after a strike.
