This has been described as a slow moving earthquake & that is exactly what it is. People are terrified that their roof will collapse on top of them or that their floor will collapse beneath them. The psychological & financial trauma caused by this crisis is unimaginable.

Next look at the impact of profits on prices. European Central Bank research - firm profits accounted for two-thirds of the increase in inflation in eurozone. Irish Central Bank research - profits contributed significantly to domestic price rises. Wages contribution was flat.

Which is it?
In Ireland, the Irish progressive left is 25% of the electorate, that’s it, tops. They ‘won’ the figurehead presidency only because a centre right candidate was blocked from getting on the ballot. They know it. The Irish government should have reopened nominations and restarted

Today’s figures show there were 16,614 people living in homeless emergency accommodation. Shockingly, 5,238 of them are children. These record numbers are a shameful indictment of a government that continues to deprioritise homelessness https://t.co/uFo8DIY3w6
