Ireland politics (Part 1)

Most of available cash going on spending

Of the remainder about 50% being used to give the extra 5 a week to pensioners

Do most pensioners need an extra fiver a week?

I doubt it. Some need extra alright but most dont

I’m sure they could do with it alright. This is the group who handed the country over in the best shape it’s ever been to the next generation, who fucked it up royally. I don’t see why they should suffer.

Fucking pensioners getting a handout again and they probably the most comfortable section of society by and large, house bought, debt free and low costs. Now there are pensioners living on the bread line and I’ve no problem helping them out but it should be means tested, and those on huge pensions should get nothing at all from the state.

Yes, but pensioners vote.

And vote FF

Bertie and Charlie mccreevey too

[alf_stewart]

Is the state pension not means tested? Serious question by the way I know fuck all about it. By state pension is that the 180 odd quid a week the pensioners get and would this be separate to a public service pension. Are Bertie and co allowed claim this on top of their other pension. If so that’s nuts.

We all partied

[carryharry]

Some of us never stopped.

[gilgamboa]

There are two kinds of state pension contributory and non contributory.

Contributory basically paid to people who have paid enough stamps (PRSI) over the years. If you have met this requirement (most people who have worked in this country for long period will) then it is not means tested, it is however taxable with any other income you might have.

non contributory is means tested alright I think.

Where is he resident?

[gilgamboa]

He’d want to live a long time

Some fucking hatchet job by Pat Leahy on MMOC today. I’d say the poor girl is toast.

The Irish Times: ‘She works hard, but is not up to it’

‘She works hard, but is not up to it’

[balbec]

Oooft!

[TreatyStones]

Some of the women that Enda promoted really come across terribly. Smacks of some form of reverse sexism, where they are only in the cabinet because they are women.

I think MMOC is an idiot but there is nothing of substance really in that article.
