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

The Gaeltacht !

But it's a well paid job. Yikes Liadh

Skid X · 23-10-2018 10:10PM

Liadh is dangerously close to Padraig Flynn territory.

LNR has unravelled Sinn Feins lies!

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****.

23-10-2018 10:11PM

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

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 23-10-2018 10:11PM

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

Would it not be better to debate who has the best plans for the country rather than just make out theyre all criminals

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

Answer me this - what has what tax you pay got to do with being the President?

Are you talking about travellers or the candidates?

Tipsy McSwagger · 23-10-2018 10:13PM

THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY

Kermit.de.frog · 23-10-2018 10:13PM

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

They are in the wrong profession.

Professional child rearer is the way to go.

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?

Phew break time. MDH can finally pick up his dropped pen and resume his maniacal note taking.

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!

fritzelly · 23-10-2018 10:14PM

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

ianobrien · 23-10-2018 10:14PM

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.

Hope the last part is about slagging and rows. Needs a good k.o. punch this.
