Upfront with Katie Hannon

Perhaps that massive protest during the weekend had an effect after all! Ten seconds of discussion and then quickly move on.

Would they turf the teachers out of the apartments for the 3 months of the school summer holidays?

"Average pay in the public sector is already 1/3rd higher than the private sector" - Dan O Brien reminding them about their privilges and pensions.

Moreover, imagine housing teachers over the rest of us plebs, and they rent their gaffs out on air bnb for the entire friggin summer.

Holy sh1t even Eoin O broin is not towing the line on public sector workers and is actually pointing out that they already get dedicated credit union help to boot.

Katie "lets have a show of hands who thinks that would be unfair on all the other workers" - bleedin everybody. "OK lets end the show."

Bwahaha

Its very telling isnt it. The same group get all the pay and perks and the rest…well they pay for it.

Teachers unions are massive (and includes retirees), ditto with the nurses, there aren't nearly as many Gardai but they are all highly organised. Their voting blocks are the reason so many decisions that are massively unpopular with the public get made with them in mind.

You’d have to question seriously FF’s and FG’s bona fides or sincerity on climate. To get into bed with the polar opposite to the Greens to stay in piwer seems bizarre if not reckless.

MHR taking a fair hammering here😁

That forestry producer spokesman is one of the best spokespeople I have seen for any group, articulate, knows his facts and was not for cowtowing to Healy Rae’s shtick…..and he is a volunteer rather than an a paid role

Key workers in Dublin should receive preferential subsidised housing.

Part of the reason there is a shortage of teachers and nurses is because neither can afford to live in Dublin.

Absolute Ñ08-€Ñ#. He's the only g0b$h1t€ wearing a hat in the studio(I know they always do). And from an obnoxious family, a classic example of nepotism and some of the pure $h1T€ that's wrong in this country.

This ###### is a minister. What a joke. "We" deserve what we get when clowns like this are voted in and put in charge by another troop of clowns.

The shortage of irish nurses isnt going to be helped by making nurses pay back their traning fees. They will still be on the same salary, which means they can't afford private rent.

You just made rent even more unaffordable for irish nurses, by adding another debt to their monthly outgoings.

How does mass immigration create a shortage of nurses? Surely it would do the opposite, if all the irish nurses are in Oz, as you say.

The budget office has clearly stated there is a large nursing shortage in Ireland. Potentially 50k more nurses will need to be recruited over the next 15 years and they cant all be delivered from irish colleges in that time frame.

Show me all these nurses that are buying houses in Dublin …I haven't met any of them.

Jesus, we need public rehab centres, according the rep these injection centres are basically about as advanced as a public loo with a toilet attendant.

A big boast of the rep is that when someone overdoses they can call an ambulance!

This another stain on the state.
