Did opposition tds also take a pay cut?

It's only from the Taoiseach down to the Ministers of State.
So a raise and a cut

A U Turn by this Government no way. See what Cowen started

James Brown · 28-07-2020 08:45PM

They should get in some advisors

They obviously feel they are a law unto themselves.
They should not tell people they can travel during a pandemic and then 'advise' against it and then put restrictions on some people. Farcical.

Better than a few chislers giving themselves pay rises and making things up to try deflect, (sounds familiar

).
So you are okay with them doing what they like and changing the rules after the fact. That's some level of obedience surely? Trump level governance.

A 10% pay cut for government ministers means they will earn more.
Only in Ireland.
I am losing my respect for my country. Politicians and RTE are in this together.
I am a 51 year old man and I always thought that RTE was an unbiased broadcast company. I have been shocked by their pro-government stance since Februrary. It is getting like U.S. now.

if the government being such a shambles can make more than 50% of the country realise this one singular fact then ill forgive them all.

Glad to hear its coming to light, RTE hasn't changed, you just see the light now.

Yes, I was slow to realise it. But it's never too late to realise what they are doing now. No more licence.

Bishop of hope · 29-07-2020 07:42AM

You'd think after the last election result that FG and FF would have learned something.
But not so it seems.
Off on their merry squeeze the little man again jolly.

Brendan Bendar · 29-07-2020 07:46AM

What has this poster puzzled is how certain issues have been dominating the airwaves recently.

No1 is the furore over folk on state payment traveling abroad when the advice is not to.

Another one is the furore over weddings being limited to certain numbers for health reasons but folk are moving the ‘day 1 and day 2 ‘ to the north because the numbers can be considerably higher.

One would have thought that with the prospect of job losses, a second wave, increased pricing etc that a certain self imposed spending hold would be the norm?

Far from it, based on media coverage it would appear.

With huge extra spend and borrowings by the Govt. which cant go on for ever , recession is very probable, with job losses.

Yet the media has been hammering this issue for weeks now.......strange.....verrrrrry strange.

Making political points ,but fuhhherke the long term consequences for the health of the nation.

Negativity central in full flow.

Has the message not been 'we have been fiscally sensible we will weather this storm' ?
Has our ex now imaginary Taoiseach not been out being photographed leading a normal life...buying clothes, having meals out, partying in the park as if it was 2019?
Where is the 'leadership' as some coins around this parish would cry?

Havent noticed an extravagant lifestyle Mr F, but then again I don’t have a subscription to ‘Heat’ or ‘an Poblacht’.

Have to agree with your last sentence though, leadership is very lacking and disjointed.

You have coins like O’Dea trying have a foot in every camp along with many others.

Oh now Brendan...Mr. V's PR is better than that. He was plastered everywhere enjoying getting back to normal.

Were you averting your eyes again?

'Selective vision' seemed to be an issue with the FGer coins too co-incidentally.

Every politician deserves a personal life. I don't see supporters of FF/FG etc running around checking out what the leader of SF/PBP/SD etc are doing when they are off

What have you such an interest in politicans personal lives? what is so interesting about them?

It's not 'personal' when you are posing for paprazzi Shef.

Look at the pics...they are PR shoots....buying a new jacket (who gets a photographer out to photograph that? :rolleyes: Having a meal out etc etc.

If it's your private life, keep it private, most others manage it.

The reason photographers are after Leo is because of the amount of people who have so little going on in their own lives they are obsessed with him. Just look at the PBP lady who couldn't even comment on an event Leo went to, posted about the jacket he had on him in the middle of winter. Then when she got hammered abotu the comment took it down?

All the littles minions running around taking photos of Leo when he is not at work and then crying about it. Seriously. Is this the level of politics the country has sunk to?

You tell me Francie, why are you so interested? you seem to constantly talk about Leo personal life, whats the obsession?

Personally I couldnt care what any of them do in personal lives

Im not shooting anyone. I asked you a question. You constantly are discussing Leo personal life. What is your obsession with it?

No idea why you think that is shooting the messengar.

Didn't one of the other posters on here have Leo's partner name as his baords name. Like what the hell is that about????

Limpy · 29-07-2020 10:39AM

I prefer the photo's of Leo doing 10ks with your one after she had the awful fall.

JohnnyFlash · 29-07-2020 10:41AM

Politicians shouldn't be allowed have a personal and private life.

SEPT 23 1989 · 29-07-2020 10:43AM

we need the strongest government the state has ever had to deal with what's coming down the line for this country

there is too much messing at the moment
