I was just going off this article where it mentions 3
Iâm not particularly angry either, itâs a poor political move but as I said it makes no difference whatsoever to any real issues
Is it a pay rise or a promotion?
Both? Anyone who got a ministerial roll is getting a promotion which comes with a pay rise. Theyâve created an additional âsuper juniorâ role and promoted someone to it - that person gets a pay rise.
The optics are terrible but the various Dail chair positions that SF and other parties will be getting will also be promotions and pay raises.
I suppose now is the opportunity for Mary-Lou, Pearse, Catherine Murphy WFC to state on the record that were they to end up in gov theyâd abolish the Super Junior positions.
Will they? Will they fuck
Disappointed I had to wait till the of that before you got to SF.
SF have nothing to do with the pay rise or promotion, yet before they had even objected to it all the usual suspects here were having a cut off them

They didnât - the gov gave them a tap in and they took it. They have been bending the facts thought talking about pay rises for 3 people etc but if it winds up the masses then what harm. It wasnât just SF - all the opposition have been making hay.
It should be noted though that these kind of things tend to get opposition parties very annoyed but they all tend to change their tune when they land in gov.
All SF have to do now to win a majority next time is absolutly nothing
At this rate they could confidently get John Connors and Paddy OâHooligan elected next time round

The initial sneery reaction on Twitter would lead you to ask why would they bother.

Is an overarching alert higher than a red alert?
I watched the briefing earlier. He used it more than once. He even threw in this beauty at one point, âThe overarching and over-riding`advice is blah blah, blah di blahâ.

I bet hand gestures were flying all over the place.
Turns out itâs not a pay cut at all. They have just agreed not to take a rise they (felt) they were due. Sneery Twitter reaction seems to have been fully justified.
These cunts canât even seem to do an embarrassing climbdown properly.
