From top: Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe in the Dáil this afternoon: the ties that bind.
From stripy austerity to deep purple.
The budgets of 2008-20018 illustrated by Minister for Finance neckwear.
Most welcome.
Earlier: Let’s get Fiscal
Thanks Lughan Dean

11 years, 12 budgets, but only 11 ties.
Clearly missing the April 2009 ‘Emergency Budget’: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7986862.stm
Sharp as a razor cutting a sicilian neck tie….
:-J
It’s sexist.
If this were a female Minister for Finance you wouldn’t be discussing her clothes!
:)
Help out an old chum here lads.
I could have sworn I heard Paschal say he’s changing the CGT Exemption rule on property bought between 2012-2014 from keeping the property for 7 years and reducing it to four but I can’t find it anywhere online.
Obvious re my post yesterday on holding four apartments bought cheap as chips in those years this could be mighty interesting.
And,all those US hedge funds who bought up thousands of empty Dublin new-builds (* for it was those the exemption was aimed at ) could suddenly release them onto the market.
If so this is interesting stuff.
But tbh,I was mixing a lunchtime sharpener of Dingle Gin and Tonic so I may have misheard it.
Anyone ?
You misheard. He’s changed it from 7 years to 40 years.
No problem with your hearing aid, Charger. Enjoy the G& T with the vultures.
The striped ones scream school uniform.
…..One tie to bring them all and in the darkness try tying them.
If Wallace braids his hair and hangs it down the front of his pink polo, would you include him in the photo. No doubt he’s feeling kind of left out at the moment.
I saw him the last morning on Grafton street in a sleeveless purple T-shirt
Sheer poetry Harry, like an alternative Raglan Road :)
lol! I have to hand it to ya Bertie, you’ve a great eye for the cultural reference
+1 :)
Ah. Purple. The choice of bishops
And the noses of most Irish TDs and Senators, male and female.
