Unfortunately today’s the last day of the informal brothel. The short term let company are out as of 31 March and the building owners are looking to complete a bulk apartment sale to one investor / consortium - the Irish Times reported an €18.5m asking price for a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bed apartments. I’m sure any buyer will in turn sell / rent them off separately and we’ll have brothel facilities back up and running in jig time. I’ll miss the hustle and bustle in the foyer and lift.

I’ve just done it once or twice recently. I’m trying to train you to tighten up your ramblings.
Again, facts not feelings.
Any other commercial service would go to the wall. Expressway should be no different.
The PTO routes make a small loss as they are subvented. Fine.
You pop in here with the usual risible arguments about workers and families. No facts, ever.
It shouldn’t unless they were treating overtime income as guaranteed. If they were treating o/t income as guaranteed then they will have to budget accordingly. They should feel fortunate they don’t face cuts to their base salary like in the private sector.
That’s very Ian Paisley (snr) of you.
It’s only stupider you’re getting.
Unless applying for a mortgage

Yes, the same people who were delighted to get massive mortgages based on future earnings and then blame the banks when they can’t pay it back.
I can see I’m out of my depth dealing with such an informed, skilled and reasoned debater.

That’s a very good post Tim. A cohesive argument put forward in under 100 words. There are a lot of lads here that could learn from your direct approach.

Mike is absolutely correct.
You CANNOT run a company with such high overtime rates in perpetuity. It is a sign of a poorly managed company that will eventually get into trouble.
The Unions know this. 10 years ago they should have renegotiated the base salaries upwards and reformed work practices to cut down on the overtime.
They didn’t for two reasons. They don’t want the actual income from their members reported in the press. Secondly, they knew that when a situation like this arose that they could put Ingrid Miley at Radio Telifís SIPTU into overdrive to pressure the government into a bailout.
It isn’t fair on lower paid workers in our society. It isn’t fair to tax payers generally. It is about protecting entitlements.
Wow! That’s a lot of money for a block of tenement flats in the rough end of Ringsend. (cc @Fagan_ODowd, @Matty_Hislop). As for the brothel, I’m sure there was a bit of excitement about the place as a result of it alright. Would you consider setting something up out of the spare bedroom until it’s back up and running again? It’d be a shame to lose its pizazz altogether.
She decided to take a shortcut but it backfired on her. She wasn’t happy I wouldn’t indulge her shortcut and I was happy to point out that them are the risks.

Anyway, back to BE.
Clearly innovative and streamlined bus companies can exist and make a profit in Ireland. Bus Eireann, smothered with inefficiency and costs cannot.

At least if they are driving a bus they are working. Unlike the mini tories on here looking down on them on company time.

You like the smell of women loaded up with Jizz? Sick bastard.
That’s such an anachronistic view of the escort industry.
