    Can you explain how a TD or anyone could tear the arse off me?

    If you give us a few names you voted for of late I'm sure we could find a way

    Well to give a quick example.

    If I voted in a TD. Go to work every day to pay my taxes etc.

    Said TD doesn't bother turning up to work and claims my hard earned taxes for expenses he didn't make etc

    I'd feel like I was getting taking for a bit of a ride.

    I didn't think it was going to be so taxing on the imagination.

    Yes I agree they should attend or have wages cut

    https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/eight-politicians-denied-full-allowance-over-poor-attendance-1.3949510

    This took 10 seconds to find. I’m sure plenty more on SF. How do you think the people of UK feel with them charging expense for not travelling?

    Violet Anne seems like a really thrust worthy person, no reason to suspect she wouldn’t rip off people....oh wait

    A good example

    Practically missing for two years.

    https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/fine-gael-minister-says-dara-murphy-should-pay-back-expenses-968012.html

    If that's not tearing the arse off his voters i don't know what is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,360 ✭✭✭limnam


    Another group

    The politicians and amount of invalid expenses were TDs Alan Farrell (FG) - €4,214.79; Maria Bailey (FG) - €1,977.11 and senators Michelle Mulherin (FG) - €2,006.73; Lynn Ruane (Ind) - €978.81; Colette Kelleher (Ind) - €245.85 and Jerry Buttimer (FG) - €227.16.

    Great to see/hear from any TD/Party.

    Spin it anyway you want. That's what she did


    Hi.

    How much of a difference will it make to her actual take home pay? What goes into her account that she is allowed to keep and spend how she wants? That will tell us how much of a sacrifice she has made.

    Answer is zero.

    It's like an employee looking for credit because their name was pulled out of the had to decide what charity will get the annual company Christmas donation this year.


    It's not her decision to donate the money and makes absolutely no difference to her whether it is donated or not. It's amazing what lack of straws there must be if you are grasping at that one!!!


    Now, if she made a donation out of her own pocket, after receiving all her annual income, then that is a different matter. Well after she pays back the money she stole from the charity (in the form of unpaid rent). She should get that sorted first. Plenty of people on Average Industrial Wage have to pay for things too ya know!

    Ah but therein lies the rub. She's not entitled to that though is she? If she wants the SF on her poster she couldn't have it anyway.

    If I'm a carpenter and I know two builders quoting for a job and one offers to pay me 10k for doing the carpentry work. and the other offers to pay 8k even though both quote the owner the same overall price. Both probably included say 12k for carpentry work in the quote. Well if I go for the 8k one because I think that I have a better chance of getting it with him then I can't really complain afterwards can I?

    Just like she said that she’d pay a paltry €63 a week in rent. Did she pay that rent?

    She did not.

    You've made this point.

    Since then she's made a deceleration to return the 8k to the state.

    She's stated she will make a donation regarding the rental arrears.

    Deceleration to zero I'd say alright. That would be the speed at which she repays what she owes ;)

    Possibly and as I said. I'll be here to join in the lambasting if it doesn't happen.

    Think you've been around these parts previously.

    What's the taxi's got to do with anything?

    I think I might get what you're saying

    When you see a list like this

    The following politicians had to pay back expenses: Fine Gael's Alan Farrell - €4,214.79, Fine Gael's Maria Bailey - €1,977.1 Senators Lynn Ruane - €978.81, Fine Gael's Michelle Mulherin - €2,006.73, Independent TD Colette Kelleher - €245.85 and Fine Gael's Jerry Buttimer - €227.16.

    A lot of FG you think if one is doing it, it's more likely other people from the party might?

    The above would indicate you might be on to something

    Ahh sligging that mud again.....dont throw stones in glass houses!!!



    If SF was squeaky clean they could throw stones but they arnt.



    So far you keep firing mud but when it is pointing out to you neither Violet Anne or the party she is in are any better you get the hump and move on to throwing mud about something else.....


    If we are going back to discussions about parties, have you figured out any good SF has done during the crisis?

    You brought up a set of stats to throw muck at a party in a discussion on Violet-Anne where the data was not relevant to her work.

    I bring up stats on a party, you get the hump :)

    Then you revert to lets go back to what have a party not in government done.

    Bizzare.

    Would people not be more concerned that this particular TD got like 20 votes in her local.ballot box and it seems she got voted for simply having SF beside here picture??


    Like shes a pure gowl,and likely wont see another re-elcetion,but people voted for her,the same way that FF and FG tradionally got seats,by simply having party beside.the box


    She may be stupidest/naive TD ever elcted by the shinnerz,but may also represent their biggest success,

    in that they tradionally shinnerz needed to do trojan work and be best TD in their constituency to get in....and i hope for voters in clare,she isnt their best TD??

    I'm genuinely interested on the angle of the taxi's

    I'm not sure why he's angry about. Is it she can afford the taxi. Or the state has to pay for the taxi due to some local bus issues or.
