As I already said, I'd be more concerned at where they get their occupier information from. But you glossed over that post because it didn't suit you to acknowledge it. But fill your boots anyway. Ignore everyone who doesn't agree with you. You'll have an easier life. Actually I don't support the current Irish Water setup. I support metering and charges and a national utility. I think Irish Water has been set up incorrectly but not because they let slip ten pieces of info or have a company gym. I try and look at the bigger picture.

How on earth can you even think of backing these scumbags 'IW' up ?.

Exercise is good for the body and mind and is beneficial in combating the effects of depression, stress and medical conditions related to desk work. With the amount of productivity lost in this country due to illness, I welcome any initiatives to combat it effectively. I don't agree with the bonuses and I was quite critical of the consultant fees when they were first revealed. Like I said, I try to look at the bigger picture.

All I'm hearing is another layer of self entitled, self satisfied, self interested and non accountable wasters/crooks that want to feed off my work. Not going to happen. And there was an army marching in Dublin that agree. That army is getting bigger by the day. Union rep in my local supermarket ( one of the biggest supermarkets in the country) told me he had driven into Irish Water and returned all the staff's packs. If I was Filthy Gael I wouldn't push this - its going to go off in their face.

Little CuChulainn wrote: » Feel free to challenge a single part. I'll make it easy and break it down. Do you believe regular exercise helps reduce the symptoms of depression? Do you believe regular exercise reduces stress? Do you believe regular exercise reduces the physical effects of sitting at a desk? Do you believe that reducing the above three would reduce sick leave in an office environment?
