How the hell does @MaeveOConnellFG have the balls to publish that tweet. She is a member of the government party who should be encouraging tech in Ireland. Instead she is helping to drive cutting edge tech out of Ireland. I hope this move by @realBobbyHealy is just temporary.

TD who objected to our planning permission in Dundrum running a mile from taking responsibility for her NIMBYism. The personification of why it's difficult to do business in Ireland. Own your choices Maeve.

Ireland's post-Karshan response has become increasingly effective at correcting tax treatment while simultaneously denying workers' rights entitlements and pensions arising from the same recalssifications. This is fraud, massive state fraud, paid for by taxpayers.

Serious questions arise for @sportireland. When a State-funded organisation regularises historic tax liabilities while simultaneously pursuing workers for repayment, the public interest becomes even greater. @IrishTimes @Independent_ie @businessposthq @johnbradysf #tonightvmtv

These "gifts" are almost certainly taxable income under Irish tax rules, not genuine non-taxable gifts. For everybody else, they're untaxed 'nixers', but mainstream media is terrified of saying consultants were paid cash-in-hand for nixers. Mainstream media is gutless.

The Dáil has heard that public-only consultants in Cork University Maternity Hospital have been receiving gifts to carry out private care. It follows the revelation that the practice is also happening in the Rotunda Hospital. jrnl.ie/7072440t

if workers are expected to bear part of the consequences of historic misclassification, then the public is entitled to know whether they are also receiving the full range of rights and protections that flow from the same reclassification. @MarkLTighe @johnbradysf #tonightvmtv

Speciality Specific Findings: •risk that patients are not treated within clinically recommended timeframes. •risk that waiting lists do not accurately reflect the true length of patient waiting times. •risk of inconsistent clinical prioritisation and triage recording. •risk that compliance with NTPF protocols cannot be demonstrated. •risk that funded initiatives are not sufficiently governed or evidenced. •risk that initiative eligibility and delivery cannot always be validated. •risk to data quality, performance reporting and management decision making. •risk of over-reliance on informal or verbal processes. •risk that service capacity constraints continue to drive long waits.

I guess not receiving @CNaM_ie funding lets @wereontheditch do what the MSM should be doing, holding those in power to account. Will MSM report this?Probably not, which is why we need to ask Is MSM doing their actual job? & Why is The Ditch doing what they should be doing?

@williamhboney1 I learnt earlier today that a certain RTE sports journalist now has a weekly column with @thecurrency. I wonder if they are a contractor with RTE?
