Fact of the Day

One-third of the Irish population – and over a quarter of those working – has less than €50 of disposable income left once essential bills are paid, according to a survey by the Irish League of Credit unions.

One in five Irish mortgage holders is in arrears or has had their loan restructured.

 Fingal  councillor Cian O’Callaghan resigned from Labour.  He stepped down because the Labour Party in Government had “broken steadfast election commitments, implemented unfair and unjust policies and made choices that have benefited the rich and powerful at a huge cost to everyone else”. Cllr O’Callaghan added that the introduction of two budgets in a row that “increased income inequality by targeting people on low and middle incomes was deeply unjust”.
