Had a really interesting chat with Peter O'Mahony today about his career and life after rugby
He was blunt about the people running Munster and what needs to change

Successive governments for close to 25 years have been increasing personal taxes. This has coincided with a windfall from corporation taxes without precedent outside fossil fuel producers. Together they have allowed a massive increase in the size of the state.
The governments presiding over these changes have been self-describing centrists, with the possible exception of the 2011-16 period when the Labour Party was in coalition.
Wonder what would happen to taxes and spending under an explicitly leftist government?
It’s not just Income Tax bands that have not kept up with inflation. CGT exemptions, gift and inheritance tax free thresholds have all been eroded due to inflation: linkedin.com/posts/james-coy…

The government's latest figures show it expects to take in ever more taxes over the rest of the decade and to spend ever more of the money, as its latest projections (below) show.
How about a cap on personal taxation - currently close to €50 billion? In Budget 2027, rates and bands are cut to ensure no more is squeezed from people. That would result in genuine tax cuts.
After 18 long years, its time to restore taxes to pre-crash rates. After all, the fiscal crisis that led to higher taxes ended in...2013.
