    My kids go to a school not too far from that Two Mile House school. If a similar utility bill comes to me I'll be sending them a copy of this:

    http://www.irishtimes.com/news/education/retiring-teachers-were-paid-172m-in-lump-sums-1.1532467

    Primary and secondary teachers retiring last year received €172 million in lump sums,with one secondary teacher receiving a tax-free payment of more than €170,000.
    According to figures released by the Department of Education, the highest lump sum gross payment received by a teacher amounted to €177,260.
    The department confirmed in response to a Freedom of Information request that €172.09 million was paid out in gross lump sums to 1,848 primary and secondary teachers who received their retirement payments in 2012.

    Well I have, the signal is still a bit cat at times which puts some people off from tuning in.

    And the way he barks it at callers too, as if they're too stupid to understand what he is saying.

    People are stretched enough, if a school cant pay its bill, its nothing to do with the parents of pupils its up to the department of education.

    Joe said : "We pay such inordinate taxes" referring to schools.

    But didn't he set up a company so a to pay less tax?

    What a creep.
