    Will the contractors have to put up Pascal’s election posters ?

    If so, the inflation clause won’t help them much as the going rate for such work is only €9.99 per 5 man crew per 14 hour day…. apparently….

    @Robert Halvey: there is also EU law which doesn’t allow such blatant favouritism in a free market for all member states. You are living in the dark ages of how the country works. You want to blame a political party but don’t know how the government agreed to work over 30 years ago

    The continued support for business over people and the belief that this ‘trickle down’ will help them build all the missing infrastructures from the last 30 years. Too late Pascal, you’re cooked.

    I don’t like Sinn Féin but I’m gonna be happy to see them in Government. I’d vote for the devil over the corrupt bunch of neoliberals who wield power so effectively against their people as things stand.
    Sinn Féin are way right of centre themselves, I’d like to see them need the Greens, PBP and anyone else other than FFG to form some sort of balanced government.
    I cannot wait to vote those traitors out!

    @Chutes: the Greens aren’t left. Lol. And SF isn’t far right.

    View people by their actions, not their blah blah blah.

    The Greens are a greenwashing party which has done nothing but hand over tax money to the rich and multinationals.

    @Chris O’Brien: the greens get blamed for EU directives and agreements made when they weren’t in power. Pretty much anything people blame the Greens for we’re not their doing. Look up something you think the Greens brought in and you will see. You are being played by all politicians as they make false claims. Not one of them is honest

    So much corruption.

    Stop voting for the Irish Tories. They’re only in power to funnel your money to corporations at the expense of our society.

    I recently got into woodwork. In 18 months wood has gone up threefold. If you think a company can absorb such increases in materials and remain viable then you have math issues.

    If the price of timber increased by 45% because a Green Minister refused felling licences, thus intentionally creating a shortage, would that also be taken into account?
