Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

We want to hear more about the mechanic chef, fascinating.

Caller, stop talking down the economy

I'm lucky enough to have a very nice house with a very handy mortgage. I do not envy people my age (early 40's) still renting.

Where did you serve ?

In de Soccer 5-a-side organisation

The Leb?

day after the budget media was saying it was a give away budget,

Duffy however digs around and finds faults

He’s a misery

TYFYS

G'day mate !!!!

How can bloated Joe, with his. Almost half a million p.a. in "fees" empathize (with a straight face) with a retired soldier who's losing 100 euro per month in his pension?

"100 euro is a lot of money", says Joe. Joe could use 100 euro notes as coasters without costing him a second's distress.

We really are screwed. The pittance given to carers currently is like we are living under austerity, but when the next crash or crisis happens, and the magic money tree disappears, cutting that won't raise anything.

Meanwhile millions no, billions is being thrown into ridiculous causes. When that money is gone, it's gone.

Joe if you had stayed an RTE employee instead of setting up a bogus company, you would probably be on a pension of €75k a year now

Joe's hatred of Civil Service and former Minister's pensions raises it's head again. He is soooo bitter he had to lose his RTE pension when he went contracting. . Wants it every way, does Joe

And where are you from originally?
