According to the Supreme Court, they were always employees. If we had an opposition which understood the law, the comment below is a confession of illegality. “According to directives from Revenue, it is likely that we would be classified as employees starting January 2026”
#Fastway didn’t collapse because of “taxes” or “bad luck”. It collapsed because an entire business model was built on misclassification — workers treated as “contractors” when the law says they’re employees #tonightvmtv #twip #tonightvmtv @geraldnash

Hundreds of Fastway Courier operators hit by the firm's closure may be entitled to employee rather than independent contractor status.

Who thinks €1350 per month for a one bed apartment is affordable housing?

Why has @rte been allowed to get away with this. @VirginMediaIE this impacts on how you operate. @thecurrency should be interviewing @williamhboney1 @TomLyonsBiz my favourite journalist, please take a look at this illegal state aid which has been allowed to continue unchecked.

President Trump is right. To stay ahead in the global AI race, America needs a unified federal framework. One that promotes innovation without overbearing regulation. A smart, cohesive national policy will ensure that American ingenuity leads the world in the age of A.I.

In 2021 @RTE made a 'Voluntary Disclosure' to the Revenue Commissioners admitting to owing €1.2 million for #BogusSelfEmployment. Via @AislingTM, that figure has now risen to €21 million. The final figure will be well in excess of €200 million. The Minister claims @RTE did

Please return your seat backs to their full upright and locked position - it's as finished as it can be. Chapter 1 locked & loaded for Saturday. 26 years work, spanning 75 years. There simply is no archive like it anywhere. All y'all met me at a very strange time in my life.
It begins. RTÉ: The Unadulterated Truth — a serialized investigation into how State bodies built, sustained, and denied bogus self-employment for decades. This is not a memoir. It’s a record of what really happened. https://t.co/jgDsXL2AY2

@irishexaminer Let me explain SW over payments. If an Irish person recieved an over payment no matter how small, every single cent in recouped, including if they are deceased through their estate. If an immigrant Shyster is over paid, they just fuck off back home or the DSP just don't bother

This is going to be well worth a read. Knowing Martin like I do, the research will be top notch and there will be squeaky bums in Government and @rte
Trying to get to grips with substack so that the 1st Chapter of my book on @rte titled: "RTE, The Unadulterated Truth" goes out clean on the 7th of this month. Then next chapter goes out on the 21st. This book is to fund a massive Tier 3 complaint to the EU for all affected.

🔥 MIT just exposed every top AI model and it’s not pretty. They built a new test called WorldTest to see if AI actually understands the world… and the results are brutal. It doesn’t just check how well a model predicts the next frame or maximizes reward it tests whether it
