      To be fair, who has a car with 16BHP or less these days lol. I’d actually be very impressed to find one

      Still waiting on FF to come good on their 2016 promise to abolish Irish Water. Huge part of their 2016 manifesto – fully costed and everything! Described Irish Water as a failed quango.

      We’re still paying for the giveaways Jack Lynch and FF resorted to to win that election….

      This comes up here twice a year or so.
      I don’t even need to read the comments…

      “I’d be surprised to see a car with 16 HP.”
      Cue the HP changeover points.
      Hello the FF were always a shower of wanks posts.

      That 1977 election and its promises did a lot of damage to the country, lasting well into the 1980s.

      And the lesson is that the gullible part of the population will vote in every two decades a populist bunch of chancers like Jack „Named a tunnel after me“ Lynch. It’s just figuring out the tipping point of people remembering the last mess. The majority of the electorate and all the opposition and arguably the government have no interest on the countries income and entirely focused on giving the surplus away to interests. This won’t end well just as Jack Lynch’s government led to a devastating recession during the 1980’s.

      All politicians are self serving scum from the dawn of time until the end of time.

      Rory Sutherland (of advertising fame) has a brilliant talk on how „horsepower“ is a marketing term invented by engine sellers to convince mine owners of the advantage of purchasing their engines (and thus how much money could be saved on keeping horses)

      Image the uproar on here if Reddit was around in 77. The people on r/Ireland absolutely despise the idea of getting rid of taxes.

      Fianna Fail football fields face fantastic futures.

      Anyone remember this?

      Why do I suspect if that person was elected, this promise wasn’t fulfilled?

      There isn’t a car tax. It’s a motor tax.

      Promises made. Promises kept ✅
