    I pay 5% of my salary into my pension, if I didnt I'd be left with the state pension and not a penny more.

    Yeh and you will be left with a pension pot far bigger than what you put in.

    You have the right to join a union, if you decide to or not is up to you.

    Farrell in Fingal looks safe.

    I'm surprised at that I was out last weekend having coffee in Malahide and he was having lunch and whinging about how hard the election was going

    Sf not running second candidates in many constituencies was a serious mistake. They won by a bloody landslide in many !!!

    Major strategy fail they could potentially have been the majority party in a coalition.

    Now they either have to go in to a major coalition or be the minor party propping up FF most likely

    Or stay in opposition and do nothing.

    They have a quota and Reilly vote will get him over the line. Probably tougher but he needs to man up!

    Extremist politics sells to a very small minority.

    Rita Harrold got 201, better than I expected but luckily a good thrashing.

    That's a bit mental alright. Between my company and I I put 18% into my pension

    Do you pay normal prsi and usc and get tax breaks on pension contributions?

    I wouldn't defend her in any sense, in fact I condemn her all the time, but if clear ghettoisation in places like Balbriggan isn't addressed, parts of Dublin Fingal are going to have more to worry about than Gemma O'Doherty.

    Peter Casey wishes he was as good a politician as Gemma. Under 500 in Dublin and 1,100 in Donegal. :pac:




    The fringe right and fringe left that the right whingers here use as examples of the "crazy left" are all getting battered.

    When you champion Casey and then consider the likes of Joe Loughnane a "poster boy" for the left you are so badly out of reality its actually concerning.

    Especially as it was obvious in the past 6 weeks they would do very well, FFG coming out with huge election promises and the electorate going umm you've been in power for years why couldn't you do this then?
    Excuse in leaders debate was "We weren't in power, we had a confidence and supply agreement"

    I think you know what I mean. I'm sick of hearing government ministers saying that they can't do things because of legal reasons when the vast majority of the populace want it done. The legal profession are the next crowd that require a good shake up in this country. The Trioka said it needed to be done. Enda Kenny said he would. Another thing that FG failed to tackle.

    I can only go on what you write.

    You can't go changing the Constitution because you think a few DJs are overpaid.

    Agree about legal profession.

    I worked my arse off to get to where I am. I have two post-graduate masters that I did part time whilst also working full time. I also had to pay for them myself to further my career.

    I think Maria Bailey had a major influence on the the FG vote and the overall general election.
    There was a rumour she would not support Harris in the Feb 5 confidence vote which forced Leo to trigger an election.
    A government will always get hammered in an election at the end of January when people are broke and fed up of winter.
    Leo wanted a May election.
