And it was James Reilly who negotiated on their behalf before he became a politician.

And when James Reilly loses his seat at the next general election he'll pick up another cushy number. He reminds me of Tom Parlon, he landed on his feet after his stint in government.

Ah, I think she is a fine looking woman but I don't like the dress she is wearing this evening. The pattern is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too busy.

And if they ever want an extension built on Leinster House, he'd be the perfect man to do the negotiating.

Good on ye Roisin. It's about time someone told the truth about the medical profession. They are on a great big gravy train and they are not going to get off anytime soon.

Roisin picks her targets quite carefully - at all times never alienates her voters/followers.

Thought the discussion - like most on the health service - illuminated nothing.
VB is a hopeless chairman; imagine wasting time talking about the use of the word doctor!

Any discussion on the health service should concentrate on small segments of it so that some progress could be made. The Medical Times rep probably had most to contribute and was asked the least.

Graduate medicine €14k a year in UL if you want to get on it yourself.
Come back to me 8 years later when you're half dead from working in the health system here.

Gravy train my arse.

Ah not necessarily. The tie and blazer look straight out of the BA employees' catalogue.

I worked in the health service. I know what doctors are paid. Junior doctors can earn up to €100k per annum. Consultants earn at least €500k minimum. Many earn up to €1m per annum by using public facilities to carry on their private practice. Check out the health insurance payments to consultants and divide that figure by the number of consultants.

Roger007 do you even know about the new consultant contract? About ireland haemorrhaging specialists? About salaries in Australia.

And as for a reg can earn 100k a year, I should ****ing hope so, can't think of anyone more deserving. Unfortunately the usual is around €50k. As you know if you worked in the health service the HSE leaks the gross pay of one or two doctors who were forced to do massive call in small hospitals to make out that is the average figure. And the public fall for it.
The contribution of doctors working in Irish hospitals right now is head and shoulders above anything else in the public service. The public needs to be more supportive.

Then you have the stag in the park whingeing about a plummer making more than him. Hard neck.

If anyone is genuinely interested in getting an insight that goes beyond the man in the pub who knows it all but really knows sfa, have a read of this.

Last programme of 2013

Vinny and his panel are reviewing the highs and lows of the year. Vinny wants to concentrate mainly on the low points. The bust up with Fionnán should be included so

I miss Fionnán, he was one of the few panelists who was well able to debate with Vinny.

They must get appearance money for coming on this programme.
If they do then some people have a monopoly as the same faces keep appearing time and time again.
Nice little earner as Delboy would say.
