I would have no problem starting Sexton. They are better off playing against opposition like this and seeing what International Rugby is really like. Amazing how quickly players learn if they are up to it. However, O'Gara has not let Ireland down and deserves the chance to once again prove people wrong. He is under pressure though and that is great to see for Irish Rugby. Fingers crossed for Cian Healy as well. Now if we can just somehow...

I think you are a bit over sensitive to this Howitzer. Are you telling me there aren't 1000s upon 1000s of people who haven't worked for years, don't want to, live a life free of shame and humiliation and potter along quite nicely thanks, doing cash in hand nixers here and there? There are loads. I personally know a few.

Look into what? Unless RTE hands on personal information you have supplied to a 3rd party without your permission there is nothing for the Data Protection Commissioner to investigate.

Quote: In addition, the employment must be suitable, having regard to your age, sex, physique, education, normal occupation, where you live, rate of pay offered and your family circumstances. This section of the SW guidelines is a disgrace. Essentially it means that if e.g. you are an IT technician, you are allowed to refuse job offers for unskilled labour or even IT technician jobs at lower pay than you used to get. Madness.

Perhaps the best way for the Unions to fight public sector pay cuts is to simply say to the 24/7 Front Line Alliance - you go on strike and we will use all our strike funds to support you and we will suggest to all other members that they pay a proportion of their wages to ensure that your salaries are not affected by your strike action enabling them to stay on strike as long as required ?

I'd say it's for the optics more than anything. Imagine the papers if they heard that, on top of a pay rise, bank staff were also being wined and dined for free.

All depends on who goes in strike. Some of the public sector workers I know are not union members and wont be on strike. Whereas a lot of public sector workers are in unions, as it is not mandatory to be a member, a high proportion arent members. I would assume that there will be skeleton services provided by the non-union members assuming they can get access to their places of work.

Just before any urban myths get regurgitated it should be noted that many welfare payments are only available to someone who has been made unemployed - not someone who has just decided to stop working. Others are means tested. Yet more fall under even vaguer criteria and are approved at the discretion of the Welfare Officer.
But away you go, let's see where this thread ends up.

You are correct, rent allowance is paid as they could be moved.
And to be fair it's correct that such an allowance exists.
If you were paying a mortgage in Cork and your superior said " pack your bags, you're going to Sligo next month", well there are few of us who can afford to pay for two places. So it shouldn't be abolished
But you're right, it should be a scheme that gardai have to ...

No right thinking Government should encourage emigration, but the short term benefits end up painting the government in a nice light. Latvia has benefitted greatly from huge emigration and its figures and performance do look good.
Look at what happened the last time. It wasn't just the unwashed masses, it was graduates who were unemployed. So we invest money in educating people and then don't...

I was surprised it went unchecked too. Yes it was the wrong forum and as a matter of principle, yes it was probably unfair on Kenny.
But what effective forum did the guy really have? Joe Duffy? Letters page of the newspapers? non payment of license protest?
What's sad IMO is that this guy will simply be dismissed as a nutter by the majority of the population.

Not sure what the answer to that is Bluebells.
What I would also be concerned about would be what exactly is wrong with these disruptive children. What can they be doing that warrents a special unit? What are the age ranges and what has caused their behaviour issues?
Were some of the children previously held in the likes of Goldenbridge and other institutions not also ...

The easiest thing would be to roll back the most recent bench-marking increases until the 1.3bn is obtained. That way everyone in the PS is back to where they were 2 years ago I'd say.

The fact that this ramble interchanges tamiflu with vaccines leads me to conclude it's all bull.
There's so much wrong with it I honestly don't know where to begin, plus it'll probably get pulled anyway under the terms of the site.
Sometimes it's better to get your scientific understanding from actually being involved in science rather than websites for fellow paranoid conspiracy lovers.

Fortunately, we're an easy target. However, as I tend to ignore anything that ever comes out of a unions mounth (i.e. increase taxes...don't cut pay!!) I didn't even know they were targetting bankers!

What is the course topic?
If it is a mess, take some action. Contact the local FAS training centre management. If that doesn't work, get onto the meeja.

Sack them now and save us from their belief that they in some way have reflected fame from being on the Late Late.

And in other news, Irish national debt not as big as USA, Irish society not as corrupt as Italy, Irish roads not as bad as Kazakhstan and Ireland not quite as cold as Antarctica during winter nights.
