Raise med 1 back up to 40% for high rate tax payers.
There really should be a pressure to index link all these. Government need to lead by example on managing impacts of inflation.
And pensions. And have the normal rules about pension access apply to them.

Index link the increase in 20% tax band for married couples with only one earner. This has been locked at 9k for years. This is a stealth tax against these couples.
Index link the over 65 tax credit.
Index link the electricity allowance in the household benefits package. This has been locked at €1.15 per day for years. This barely covers the standing charges.

I'm sure you can still email or write to him in the post. More outreach channels are better than less.

Of course - and this should go without saying- it's a ludicrous and terribly bad idea, government by Instagram. One might as well decide policy by seeing what pop bands Simon Cowell is recommending on Pop Idol.
Harris's job is to be the Taoiseach, for which he is very well paid.

I can never remember which of those two is currently Taoiseach. The clowns should show the office more respect instead of passing it around like a timeshare in Lanzarote.
