Apparently its on his website and its 51k. He says he lives on the average industrial wage of 35k and the extras go towards his party funds. Heard it discussed on the radio tonight.

That's the thing though isn't it, he doesn't live on the industrial wage.

take everything

Sam could be in there :pac:
Is Margaret flirting with him.

Unions would block any sort of implementation of such links in wages... Like when people questioned Jack O'Connor (who, as a supposed socialist earns four times the average industrial wage) as to why he wouldnt take a cut in pay, he said "I would be afraid that a cut at my level would lead to a cut at all levels"... The union leaders are all traitors..

Just had a look at his website Pearsedoherty.ie
T.D.'s get some money and expenses, no wonder they are all at the trough.

Vinny's incredulous ranting about social inequality would be perfectly deployed tonight.

I just fail to see how anyone could amass €51,000 in expenses in 10 months, particularly given that the Dail is not in session for half of that time.

Sam is taking the ad break when he's supposed to, VB usually ignores the producer telling him to take the break.

Is it just me or does James Reilly have the sort of face that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley at night??

He's a smug git alright.

Breast fed on six inch nails i'd say. And he is a smug and sarcastic git.

He's probably itching to have that Noo Yoik lawyer Ed Hayes on the phone tonight, just to mix it up a bit more.

The German politicians understand that if they dont keep us ticking over with a few quid (to give it back to their banks), then they will have to nationalize one or more of their own banks when we default..

He is a seriously wealthy man though so I doubt that he is bothered by what we think of him. Check out his stately home in Offaly.

It's a pity we don't have a tax on chimneys. Reilly would owe a feckin fortune.

All his wealth didn't stop him claiming for overnight allowances for 18 months after he entered the Dail in 2007 amounting to €18,000. He lives in Rush ffs!! How he escaped more heat over that I don't know. Ivor took all the attention I think.

He has 150 acres of land in Offaly too, I bet some of it has road frontage too

They were describing that girl as a "child" on numerous reports that I heard on the radio today... Nobody has questioned why a child was doing sitting in a car with three men who she was not related to... And them on the way to "defend their patch"

It'll be extremely interesting to see what he does with Health this year.
Reports recently of Limerick Regional in serious difficulty.
Meanwhile he's talking about reducing waiting times further- not sure how he's going to do that.

LOL Maybe his Offaly home is his primary residence.

Ursula wasn't happy at being cut off there.

BTW I hope Sam Smyth is never on that show again. He is awful.

One of the men in the car was her fiance.

+1 the show is lost without VB. I really hope he isn't ill.
