Mogged in Parliament

In a fiery Dáil debate, Irish TD Ged Nash dropped the slang term “mogged” to slam the government for favoring the hospitality sector—getting a big VAT cut—while ordinary families struggle with soaring food and energy costs. Citing a survey showing one in five households skip meals to feed kids, Nash accused the government of ignoring inflation and cutting vital supports. Tánaiste Simon Harris fired back, defending the VAT relief for gas, electricity, and even hairdressers, claiming broader cost-of-living measures helped curb inflation. The clash reveals a global dilemma: balancing business aid with household relief—and how even slang words like “mogged” now echo in parliament.
