    Oh yes. Pat Kenny - the man who recently complained that his €650,000 a year pay packet was a pittance when compared to Premiership players like John O'Shea.

    Another f*ckwit divorced from reality.

    Christ if there was a prize for slow-learners, you my friend would be standing on the podium!:rolleyes:

    I suppose this is now the official Frontline thread - the other one is called Frontline 20/09/2010. Going back to tonights show: some were commenting on proposed cuts to CE schemes. I say, roll on cuts.
    I know single mothers on CE schemes who receive more money than most Working people get from full-time employment. They receive both payments tax free. They keep refering to themselves as "The Vulnerable". :mad:

    That skit was tame compared to what they used to put on Bull Island

    That skit was a nice counterbalance to The Late Late with Tubridy.

    Maybe Pat was getting his own back!!!!!

    Loving it! And it would be even funnier if it were actual satire, rather than simply being the truth!

    That skit was a disgrace, not even slightly impartial, a plain attack, makes a mockery of the program and what it is meant for.

    I actually thought the skit was hilarious and burst my sides watching it. At first I actually thought it was an ad or something for The Savage Eye.
    But what was equally as funny was as it was at the end (before the credits) of a serious current affairs programme. It was a very very direct attack on FF and Cowen himself who was at one stage portrayed as a drunken leader like Boris Yeltsin. I was shocked by the veracity of the attack and certainly wasn't expecting it at the end, or otherwise, of a Pat Kenny show.

    Methinks something is amiss here- Kenny is far too straight to give the ok to something like that. If he had then he had just destroyed his long earned reputation for political impartiality.

    Is there any chance that a disgruntled RTE employee hacked it into the end of the show? It just seems way too brazen an attack for RTE.

    In any case I reckon this skit is going to have legs in the media in the morning ;)

    Microsoft KPMG and Intel pay their corp tax on world wide income through Ireland. It might not be exactly 80%, but it follows the basic 80 20 rule of most things.

    So is it 80% or isn't it ?

    You're sounding as self-contradictory as Ahern!

    1 . On Taxes generated by Foreign Direct Investment

    If anyone uses highbeam.com they can see the figures published by the National Institute Economic Review in their report "The impact of foreign direct investment on sectoral adjustment in the Irish economy." Its Document number 1G1-56908889

    They quote that on FDI - "foreign companies produced roughly 69 per cent of total net output and accounted for 45 per cent of employment ".

    The figures seem pretty straight up to me, but if I'm reading it wrong I apologise.

    Also figures provided by Ireland Chief Executive Barry O’Leary with two quotes. "O’Leary said that the FDI community last year generated €104 billion worth of exports – 80pc of all Irish exports", and "Multinationals in the Irish economy contributed to 73pc of all business R&D spend in the country" . This is from a report by Silicone Republic and can be found at http://www.siliconrepublic.com/business/item/14604-ireland-is-bucking-global-f



    2. I never said F.G. would raise the corp tax rate. I said that my Labour Cllr couldn't tell me that Labour wouldn't when they came campaigning at the last rounds.

    Edit:

    1hr 7mins is when this 'skit' takes place. After reading the comments on this thread I probably was expecting too much. I dont see why this will be all over the media. Off to watch the rest of it...
