RTE Prime Time Presidential Debate Tues 23.10.18

Skid X

David McCullagh chairs the penultimate debate, and the last one to feature the incumbent President.

Billed to start at 9.45, so it doesn't clash with the Champions League.

Go easy on LNR. She had it really tough coming from a marginalised background.

Liadh is dangerously close to Padraig Flynn territory.

SINN FEIN ARE SAYING THEY'RE TAKING AVERAGE WAGE BUT THEY MEAN TAKE HOME PAY IS THE SAME AS THE AVERAGE WAGE BEFORE TAX

Shur they obviously mean after tax. They don't believe in tax.
Oh wait.

Does not compute.
Typical shinner bull****.

Can't believe LNR was caught out so badly on the wage. Could potentially the moment that costs her her MEP seat.

She’s a leech. European Parliament members do duck all except agree to everything Brussels says.

Ah that's just semantics, you're just talking about a different tier of average.

Margaret Cash gets 50k, doesn't pay any income tax.

They are in the wrong profession.

If you have a Ltd company in Ireland its 12% corpo tax, guarantee half of RTE are paid that way.

And how do you take the money out of the company without paying tax?

So if they use legal loopholes thats ethically ok

Is it ethical for the government to take up to 47% of your salary as Tax?
Is it ethical for them to take 33% on capital gains tax if you sell a property or inheritance tax - which of course you've paid tax on when you bought the property, and the LPT etc.

To be that is daylight robbery.

So if individuals find loopholes then I have no problem with them using it. Given the amount of money civil servants are paid and consultant firms, there shouldn't be any loopholes out there for people to take advantage of.

Everyone would use a loophole to pay less tax, if they knew about it.

Nothing, but they're running out of crap to talk about. Next they'll be asking where they do their shopping, anyone who doesn't say Aldi or Lidl will be derided.

What about the ratings!

This seems like a very one sided debate or should I say a debate hosted by someone who has his eye on one candidate
Ridiculous debate

Thank crap for an ad break. Im watching an ad for Laya Healthcare. That's better than the debate, and more informative

How much are civil servants paid? Not a whole pile.
