'Disappointment' money & the continuing feeding at the trough

Another drip in the constant drip-drip of information regarding the ridiculuously high rewards/remunerations of our Oireachtas members.
The greed of some knows no bounds it seems, no leadership qualities when belts are being tightened across teh country and the bottom and middle rungs are to be squeezed even more over the next few years.

Even bypassing the annoyance when faced with the fact that the likes of O'Dea is adamant in claiming even more 'letdown' money from the public, just what the hell is the FG/Lab govt up to?
They are continuing the reward for failure culture of the 'top' brass in this country and will without doubt hide behind the Attorney General and weighted legalese - legalese designed to defend the pot of gold these guys feed from.
Is it any wonder there is fraud in the social welfare system for example when the leadership of the country exhibits the exact same culture albeit their's is a legal entitlement provided by themselves to themselves?

The political will is simply not there to strip bare the pot of gold - FG and Labour are hugely disappointing; from FF and Green and PD ministers in the govts responsible for some of the worst decisions in the country's history living lavishly on the public purse (every single one of them failed in their jobs) to people like Roddy Molloy and Patrick Neary and John Hurley to the directors of the Irish banks.
It's disgusting and immoral and without a stop put to this robbery, and that's what it is, Ireland will remain the same awful nod and wink backwater it always has been.

Ah well you see, poor auld Willie needs the money as he is still paying damages back to the SF councillor in Limerick who he accused of running a brothel !!!!




( BTW, I was going to start a thread on this but posted it on the Ogra FF discussion. FF TDs defy Martin to pocket cabinet pay-offs

And these are the people who reduced the minimum wage. Ireland was cursed the day FF was formed .

Of cotse his party leader is still holding on to a permanent teaching position despite the fact that he taught for maybe five years 15 to 20 years ago.
