To be fair, I heard he has been surviving without a Second Footman for a few weeks now.
No-one is immune from this recession
No nor was Padraig Flynn :mad::mad:-
"‘I GET, GIVE OR TAKE, it works out at about, with expenses, £140,000 a year and I pay 30.3 per cent tax on that so it is about a net £100,000. And out of that £100,000, I run a home in Dublin, Castlebar and Brussels. I want to tell you something, try it sometime when you have a couple of cars and three homes and a few housekeepers and everything else. . .” That was the infamous response given by then European commissioner Pádraig Flynn when asked about inflated expenses by Barry O’Halloran, a member of the Late Late Show audience (and now an Irish Times journalist, incidentally) in 1999."
Reilly is also exempt from the €100.00 household tax !! Joke0 -

it wouldn't appear so from the Household Charge website:
"The exemptions are as follows:
Residential properties that are part of the trading stock of a business and have not been sold or been the source of any income since construction,
Residential property vested in a Minister of the Government or the Health Service Executive,
Residential property vested in a housing authority, including property where households are purchasing their homes under the Shared Ownership Scheme and where the local authority still retains an ownership stake,
Voluntary and co-operative housing,
Residential property subject to commercial rates and wholly used as a dwelling,
Residential property owned by certain charities or comprised in a discretionary trust, and
Residential property where a person has to leave their house due to long-term mental or physical infirmity (e.g. a person that has moved into a nursing home). "
maybe there's something between the lines that I just can't see.

Good Evening Folks
Vinny and his panel will be discussing tonight's motion of no confidence vote in Minister for Health, Dr. James Reilly (which was defeated).
Apparently, Junior Minister, Róisín Shortall wasn't too enthusiastic about the Minister performance though.One of those voting confidence in Dr Reilly was his Labour Party junior minister Roisin Shortall.
In her four minute speech, she did not mention his name even once and she warned that unless there was substantial reform in the health system, there will be cuts and the poor will suffer most. She said progress on legislation to introduce free GP care was "very disappointing", and said funding must be restored to this area.
