I live in Ireland.

Why would I be worried about what the lord mayor of a different country earns?

TheBody · 12-09-2012 10:17AM

No need for any county councillors in any county. Complete waste of money.

Plazaman · 12-09-2012 10:17AM

Well he is running a People's Republic. What did you expect?

super_furry · 12-09-2012 10:18AM

Simple make him King of Cork, cut them out from their Dublin subsidies and let them fend for themselves.

You think a democracy would keep those Langers in check? Let them look after themselves and they'd be voting for trees. A dictatorship or monarchy is the only way it'd work.

Joe Duffy earns more than Obama! At least the mayor isnt pontificating to the country everyday and talking out of both sides of his mouth!

I really thought the IMF would have sorted this kind of cr@p out at this stage of the takeover

K.Flyer · 12-09-2012 10:26AM

So here is the question...
Is the Spanish PM grossly underpaid or is the Cork LM grossly overpaid?
Or does it really matter what those in higher office in Ireland are getting paid as long as it comes out of the taxpayers pocket because, as usual, nothing substantive will ever be done about it.

joolsveer · 12-09-2012 10:27AM

On a point of order Cork does not have a lord mayor. There are only two lord mayors in Ireland - Dublin and Belfast.

what public servants get paid..........can be altered by simple civil disobedience action...

Ush1 · 12-09-2012 10:31AM

Well the Spanish PM should certainly not be making mental money since Spain is in an awful state.

Plenty of overtime for the guards if that happens.

We need solutions, not more costs to the taxpayer.

How does the mayor of Cork make ~25K more in salary, than the mayor of Dublin?

He told the people of Cork that the Dublin mayor earns more and obviously they couldn't let Dublin beat them.

Interestingly if you look up his schedule there for this coming Sunday you'll see:

3.30 p.m. Formally close the Emergency Services Exhibition– in the City Hall.
4.00 p.m. Attend the 2012 Camogie All Ireland Senior Championship Final – in Croke Park.
6.30 p.m. Attend the Irish Blood Transfusion Service Donor Award Ceremony – in
Rochestown Park Hotel.

Anyone see the problem here? That free car of his must be well fast.

The political and upper civil service class in this country are a cartel of self serving treasonous leeches and the sooner the streets run red with their blood, the better.

Yes debt wise.

But we have an unemployment rate of roughly 15%, Spain is at 25% with youth unemployment at 53%!
