Rent allowance rumour :(

hammy140

Alright lads, im a serving member . . .somewhere. . .

Heard a nasty rumour last night from the scenic east of the dublin region, sounded a bit like panic stations, that this "government" is going to take our rent allowance next!!!!!

Anyone hear this horrible piece of bullsh*t?

Eru

Nope but money taken is money taken. Doesnt really matter what allowance it is just a question of far can they push before we finally push back.

You'll get blamed for putting the idea in their heads, hammy!

Hooch

Cough cough cough.
I fell a cold comming on.
Do i look blue to anyone???
Is the GRA active in anyones region or are mine the only sorry excuses for members

CharlieCroker

There'll be uproar if they try to do it, won't happen*.

(I hope!!!!!!)


*this in no way means that the government wont try to screw us even more

If rent allowance is taken, does that mean we get to serve in whatever district we like?

here's another rumour doing the rounds at the moment.... st raphaels are in strife as they are somehow involved with mr Lynn and have lost a lot of money.... now mull over that one..

Com1186

pension levy plus what ever tax rates coming next month will equal or be greater than the rent allowance so we are losing it in a roundabout way........

But the super in Pearse Street says most of his lads live down the country - thats why they have to drive up and double park outside the station.

Do you think someone, somewhere might not be telling the whole truth?

Too be honest, I think myself and the rest of us in the private sector are up for the next round.

Abandon all pursuits after 5 miles, save petrol.

Dont think that hasnt been thought about before too

Have the letter from 1987 the last time the country was truly as economically screwed

Junior doctors starting in hospitals in July were given a letter in June by some to state that their contracts of employment were being rescinded and they would not be employing them

If however they wanted to come to the hospital to train they would be welcome and sandwiches and white coats would be provided

The old ideas are the good ones eh!!!

Plus ca change
plus cest la meme chose
