Mr Varadkar said first time buyers saving for a deposit should be able to avail of a grant of up to €30,000.
He added building more homes including social, cost rental and affordable homes would help lower rents. The Fine Gael leader said there should be a cut in childcare costs, reduced student fees and more student grants. He added that excise on petrol and diesel should be kept low while more people should be given free GP care while the cost of medicines should be lowered.
He said there should be increased payments for pensioners, carers, people with disabilities and the vulnerable.The Tánaiste also pointed out the avaerage full time worker earns more than €40,000 and would see 52% of any potential salary rise go in tax.He said putting more money back in people's pockets had to be a priority in the Budget.
I needed a shower the last time I used the bus it was filthy, late, 30mins… packed and stood for 50mins all the way into town same out never again! Dublin is a kip
Does that not mean that if the fares are increased by 40% then the reduction still allows the company to keep their increase of 20%
They need to look into issuing more taxi licenses ASAP or promoting Uber across Ireland .. there are parents all over the country collecting their 20 something year old kids from clubs . uberIreland taxiireland EamonRyan
What about the cost of living and fuel Leo yet again not thinking or worrying about rual Ireland again
Words again 'would like'!!! Also someone need to explain to Tainaiste that not everyone lives on a public transport route!!!
Offer that to private buses ,Who unlike government run buses don't let you down
Will some opposition TDs take business class flights.
Election coming? Start lf all the empty promises here we go
That's a lot of stuff I thought there was no money tree anyway I doubt if it will happen
20% reduce your salaries for a start as well…
If the govt were really serious about cutting emissions public transport would be free to use..and investment would be in transport in areas where there is currently none..
RemindMe_OfThis in one week
No no no, this populist nonsense is the sort of thing SF advocated for, since last year 🤔🤔🤔, is Varadkar going down the populist route ?
That boy thinks he is still in charge 😋
That man would say Mass if he knew Latin! An absolute Chancer!
The leak on every bit of MSM for the past week spinning the same old shite. Must be something afoot.
Utter populism. They found the magic money tree to pay for it
I would much rather public transport was available, frequent and accessible for all in every part of the country. Making something that doesn't exist for most people cheaper is pointless soundbites. He'd cry populism if someone else said it
Public transport in Ireland should not be charged to the public. Other European countries do this. We always compare ourselves to other countries, well, why not compare the positives. Like Spain capped the prices energy providers can charge. This government is gouging the people
Like the USC yeah?
Thanks to this, it is possible to increase the payments of people with disabilities and the lowest pensions by these 20%
This globalist WEF stooge is great at virtue signalling especially when it doesn't cost him anything.
Should be free given how shit it is. Red line Luas a shitshow every morning
Getting Shakir Leo electin coming
Populism & attempted vote buying yet again by this ever shrinking party
Bike scheme .
Go on Leo spin it, by the way we haven't forgotten your still under criminal investigation 😉
Great with the savings I can get a gaff
The transport system the people don't use
The taxes people in rural Ireland are paying on petrol/diesel is subsidising reduced transport costs for people in urban areas. War on rural Ireland.
Looking for a vote ...haha ...cut your holiday's ....take a 2 week summer break like the people who pay your crazy salary....
The funding for these schemes is coming from the taxes they are taking from the diesel and petrol taxes Robbing average people blind
That keeps his Dub supporters happy ...🤦♂️
What about 20% reduction in all of your wages and give back to the people yeah
Big benefits for rural Ireland, cheers Leo 🤥
Another fat load of good that will do me in Donegal, no buses when I go to work at 7am nor none when I come home, get with reality Leo
Don't mind saying it. And do it then. This country is getting hard to live in for our own people. It's not the Ireland it once was.
There's that P word popping into my head
That is really going to benefit the people in rural Ireland. No train and no buses out here Leopold.
Won't make much difference to the LUAS as it's free
What he says he would like to see versus what he actually does are two very different things! He’s in power but he’s no will
That Botox he is riddled with could do with a 20% reduction tbf.
