    Whats the going rate for manual labour in the middle East?

    2 euro a day.

    Yeah fair point.
    Could have flown them all over in private jets and put them up in the most expensive luxury accommodation in Ireland, given them winter off to go home and paid them a decent wage, and it would still work out a billion+ cheaper.

    Bad add that overspend is, at least we'll have a children's hospital at the end of it.

    Bertie and FF fluted about for how many years trying to get it built in his constituency... Left us with nothing but millions in consultant bills.

    FF's record on health is deplorable. It involves giveaways for staff and not much else.

    That's their main policy over the years , giveaways

    what banks paid no corporation tax ?

    Most of them recently because they have significant booked tax losses from the crash.

    Hike the corporation tax and how much would they pay? Zero! They'd be gone by the following morning. Mary Lou is full of sh1t.

    Well done MM, stick it to her.

    If the tax was being well used ok...no problem, but it is being wasted left right and centre

    It’s akso being thieved from people who badly struggle themselves, not the wolf of Wall Street ffs! These morons here saying they are knocking on doors and people they want improved services. What an absolute shocker , that a lot of people , want other to pay for them. They are shocking spoofers. One competent person up there , could destroy them !
