Irish Current Affairs


It can’t even get the town right.
Ballinahinch is in Galway. In the Republic.
Ballymena is in Northern Ireland where this all started.
The people doing this rioting, I would suggest, wouldn’t be enamoured with being discussed in an Irish current affairs thread.

I’ve no problem with it, but this is the British government we’re talking about.

What was the video?

There's a Ballynahinch in County Down also
 
Ones a national holiday here though, the other a pretty band rap band

Ones racist also
One is a largely innocent group of people just trying to the achieve the best for themselves and their families…the other a group of people largely complicit in the harassment and assault of innocent people around them

…you decide
 
A simple guide for all non paddys re the tradition of loyalist bonfires.....



It all makes perfect sense when he explains it like that.

Happy 12th of July to all our protestant/loyalist/Orange/non-fenian friends on here. Have a great day. And yes; I'm totally serious. I know it's a big day for you guys. With the bonus of a bank holiday on Monday, yeah?
 
Can anyone explain the Irish growth in GDP per capita over the last few years? Is it simply down to the rate of corporation tax or are there other factors at play. These questions sparked from discussions on the UK 6th richest country thread and @inbetween post. For those living in Ireland, can you say that your standard of living has kept track with that amazing growth line? Genuinely interested as part of the question how the hell does the UK get itself out of the stagnation it is in.

Broadly False.

Look at the GDP per capita growth of Ireland and match it against a graph on corporation tax in Ireland. They implemented a 12.5% corporation tax rate in 2001 and well look at the acceleration despite a dip for 2008. This is primarily responsible because otherwise why is the rest of Europe doing crapper than we are?

Brexit isn't really featured but of course Ireland may become attractive but that's primarily because taxation is low and companies think hey let's move to Ireland to position our company in a favourable tax system for Europe. The UK was never a low tax haven country prior to Brexit so not much has been lost.

Brexit isn't the prime problem but what is certainly featured within the degradation here are the actions of successive Conservative governments.
