    "A necessary evil"?
    I hardly think that's an appropriate term.

    23k is not a bad wage for any young person to start on with a view to an increase all the way up to 44k not including allowances.
    Very few workers start off with a wage good enough to get a mortgage.
    It takes time for everyone not just them.

    She thinks just because you're a public servant, of any kind, you're 'entitled' to all these things.

    Tough, you exist for nothing but to fund the public servants luxurious lifestyle, kinda like humans in the Matrix.

    pisses me off no end to hear them say some snot nosed lad straight out of templemore with no experience is "badly paid".

    They don't matter....(as long as they keep footing the bill for paying all these ex-Gardai their fat pensions).

    If the corporations pull out over increased tax then the teachers will still have jobs.

    it'll be those in the private sector who will suffer.
