Another disaster if brought in.
Private sector pay 4% + 2% for health.
Public sector pay 0.9% to the private sectors 4%.
They are talking of increasing it and also getting rid of the ceiling (at 52k).
This is going to kill retail. No-one will spend a thing. Instead of looking to create jobs Fianna Fail is trying to plug gaps in spending by taking more money out of the economy.
It’s unreal.
Inflation has droped, and is supposed to drop again so Dole needs to be dropped, the index linked pensions need to go and benchmarking needs to drop wages. The private sector is culling staff left right and centre and if they come out with PRSI increases and a possuble pension interest relief fund they will see the country blasted back to the dark ages.
I’ve always assumed that those in charge were smarter than the rest (until I was about 20) but it’s becoming more and more obvious that these guys are idiots.
Yours etc,
