  1. go for ESB poles, yes they cost 50 quid each but they are thicker and have less rot, a mate got some power and phone pole, I had to cut them, but the power once were thicker and stronger while the phones ones were weak, narrow and had some rot

  2. let the public have polls about where the money is spent and if pay rises should be paid or not for bankers and politicians.

     

    ie do we spend waste millions on overruns of projects like battle ships and missiles or do we spend it on heathcare, not paying the bosses at the top but the actual workers and hiring more to bring down waiting lists

    or on education or where it needs to be spent, like fixing the roads

  3. at least there is no cheese waste or dairy waste, that crap actually gets worse the further it travels, least that what i was told by the owner of a waste compost company, oh fish is also bad

  4. Haironyourchest

     

    Sorry i meant Enda the Coward and the Bertie and Cowen, they got massive pensions. if you started work as a groundee and then became a climber before being a manager, you would be lucky to get one pension

    yet Enda and the like gets a teacher, minister, a td and a taoiseachs, pension when he retires as well as a golden handsake.

     

    i like the Rae's.

  5. Total cost of average TD in the Dáil:

    Annual Salary (before Croke Park II): €92,672

    Notional annual contribution to pension fund: €92,672

    Travel and accommodation allowance (up to): €37,850

    Public Representation Allowance: €23,130

    Average staff costs (parliamentary assistant + secretarial assistant): €69,000

    TD’s contribution: (€5,560)

    Total annual cost of each TD to the state: €309,912

    Upon retirement, each TD who has served longer than 20 years is furthermore entitled to claim a retirement lump sum of €139,008, a termination lump sum of €15,445, and 12 monthly ‘Termination Payments’ for the first year of retirement, calculated according to number of years of service and amounting to up to a maximum annual payment of €57,920.

    Only after all of that does the Deputy’s annual pension officially begin.

  6. Course the thing is nobody puts a gun to your head and forces anyone to employ anyone. If the burdens of being an employer are too onerous, one is free to downsize and be a one-man-band. That is, unless ones lifestyle has grown beyond the means on a single income - but that's a choice too. All comes down to personal responsibility no? If it's worth it it's worth it, if it's not it's not....

     

    hey we both know a shower of ##### who get paid to sit on their asses be missing from work for several days, get several pensions, travel the world

    pay increases without asking. certain TD's and politicians.
