The Irish private economy was just rescued by the public exchequer to the tune of €64bn. As incompetent as commercial management in the Irish private sector is, you’d imagine that they understand they have to pay that money back.

The point here is that far from sharing in any recovery that may take place, the unemployed and the public servants should keep their head down and be extremely happy with the benefits they currently enjoy.
With regards to replacing the current public sector employees with cheaper more efficient and better options, the economics works:
Productivity of migrant in Calais >= productivity of public sector employee
Salary of migrant in Calais < salary of salary of public sector employee
Motivation of migrant in Calais > motivation of public sector employee
This is a real concern for the public sector employees. In fact the public sector was forced not to participate in the job bridge programme because their inefficiency would have really been highlighted when compared with the job bridge candidates.
Shin Fein have been saying for the last 8 years that there’s no need for any austerity. Has Pierce come back from Athens yet? you fucking ape. Now that you’ve highlighted all that’s wrong with Irish governance let’s hear your answer to it? Does it involve Cian Prendiville and the burning of water bills?

It involves sending most of the population, such as village idiots like yourself, to the gas chambers and starting again with what’s left.
Ireland’s national debt has increased by 160 billion since 2007.
The banks accounted for about 36 billion of this.
That leaves over 120 billion of debt that has used to fund, essentially, the public service.
What that means is that after the private sector employees have handed over 52% of our earnings in direct income tax, plus the money robbed from our private pension funds, plus property tax, plus indirect taxation, the country still had to borrow 120 billion in those 8 years to keep the public sector inefficienciet unqualified employees afloat.

whats the public sector wage bill mate when you take out the tax they pay?
Public sector workers do not pay income tax in the real sense.
Any concept of income tax for public sector workers is simply an accounting exercise.
answer the question please, how much of the 120 billion is paid as wages?
Great answer half wit. With all the idiots gone who pays for your council house and bags of glue?
the 120 billion is only the supplement that is required once taxes, charges and pension proceeds have been spent.
The cost of the public service in this country in unsustainable.
@Ambrose_McNulty has been a fantastic addition to the site so far. Are you anything to Jimmy?

A cunt like you would be too lazy to get up and vote.
Good one, pal.
Why would it disgust you to pay 55% tax? You’ve obviously done nicely for yourself if you’re paying that much, but you’ve surely benefitted from a free education system, a heavily subsidised university sector, the children’s allowance paid for the clothes you wore when you were a child, and you may even have benefitted from the health sector on occasion. Your parents generation paid 65 pence in the pound in tax so that you could have the opportunities you had. Would you deny the next generation the same opportunities you had?
Yes, of course he would. And he’d take pleasure in doing so.
the problem, Fagan, with that model is that “you will eventually run out of other peoples money”.
your mistake is that you want to punish people who have done well in life and reward those that have done little or nothing in life.
TUM and many like him works hard, spends considerable time at work, and spent time to get the appropriate qualifications. It is not equitable to punish these people to such a degree that their efforts are not rewarded.

I don’t want to punish anybody but there is price to be paid for social cohesion and opportunities for all.
so you would dramatically reduce the salaries and benefits of the public sector employees?
