    Pfft, typical of civil servants to moan when there pay is just a few hours late.
    Try working for yourself in the real world where you only get paid if cheques come in the door!!

    Ah yes, this old chestnut.

    I think I'll stay in my dream world and meet Katie Perry on that cloud for a while.

    20 Minute Tea Break a day
    Finish at 6 on a Friday
    Have taken 3 sick days in 3 years. Hardly ungodly in fairness
    25 Annual Leave days a year (that is after 3 promotions)

    Just putting that out there as a CS. I would LOVE to finish at 2pm :):) Never happened in my 21 years working in the CS though. Well unless I took annual leave that is.

    To all the people who wonder how someone can't last one day without their salary, my wife (who didn't get paid) had to sub a number of her junior colleagues.

    There are a lot of people in this country living hand to mouth where one little shock like this can push them over the edge.

    how do you know your taxes are paying for these civil servants specifically? maybe the taxes you pay go elsewhere.

    It all goes into one big pot, taxes paid for specific purposes do not actually go directly to those purposes

    Outsourced to Accenture apparently - the cream of the private sector, ya know, the smart ones, the clever ones.

    You'd have done a pretty poor job throughout your career to retire on a pensionable salary of only 25k.

    You'd pretty much have to have been passed over for promotion for 40 years and have been refused every increment. Anyone who retires from a public service job on a pension of 12.5k should have been sacked decades ago.

    If you had 20 years at 50k you would get a pension of 12.5k.

    Incorrect.

    It would take you 40 years of wages at 50k to get a pension of circa €12.5k from your Civil Service pension.

    As I've said already bar the highest earners in the CS the gold plated pensions tag so loved by the media is a myth.

    My pension pot would be far higher if I was allowed opt out of my pension contributions and take control of it myself. Now if CS pensions were not self funding (and more), if they were a drag on public purse then surely there'd be an opt out?

    The truth is far more is taken in through the Pension Levy than is paid out on PS pensions.

    There's no point trying to argue this. People make up their minds based on ridiculous claims in the likes of the Indo with no supporting figures at all.

    Looks like there's issues regarding non-payment of wages again this morning.

    I'm hearing of another problem within banks leading to people not getting paid.

    EDIT- Just checked my own bank account and I haven't been paid, I'm with Bank of Ireland.

    Any of our staff with BOI haven't received their salaries yet today.
    All staff with other banks have.

    Our bank account is currently with BOI, and the salaries payment hasn't been deducted either.

    Spoke to our contact in Bank of Ireland Corporate, and they told us that all transfers/payments have been processed through the Irish and European clearing systems, it's BOI's internal systems are struggling to apply payment to the individual BOI accounts.

    They've promised it'll be resolved today - but we've heard that from them before

    It might be a stupid issue for someone living it up in Spain but for those of us who work from pay cheque to pay cheque, delays can be costly and very inconvenient.

    I know I shouldn't but...

    Less than 1% of Civil Servants get the pay you've outlined above.

    The working day of a Civil Servant is 9am - 5:45pm. Many people (especially higher paid) work faaaaaaar longer hours.

    No Civil Servants get that amount of holidays.

    Put down the Irish Independent and open your mind.
