    Feck off hitting drink again another 10 cent on the pint.

    And 41% dirt, mother of god that's a disgrace, interest rates are low enough without dirt getting increased. They should be rewarding people who have money in savings not hitting them.

    Excessive saving is a big problem at the moment, which has to be discouraged. Increasing DIRT was a no brainer.

    50c on wine...so up €1.50 in two years. No doubts the shops will double that increase. Before last year's budget I could always find bottles on offer in Tesco and Super Valu for €6. Now it's rare to find a bottle under €8!

    Ease off the sauce...half the time, you're looking in the shampoo section...

    Let's not forget they had a huge part to play in putting us here.
    How people could ever consider voting for them again is beyond me.

    No, he said that tax relief has been abolished on ex-gratia lump sum pension payments.

    Suspiciously so. I'm still waiting for the 50% tax on taxes to happen though.
