Hi Purple
Sounds like complete nonsense - where the tax rate is as accurate of his "4 years" in the Dail??!!...........and this is from someone who isn't at all a fan of ".....sure this is what you do during an election campaign!!"
Even the basic arithmetic is appalling - their numbers don't add upPat Rabbitte is the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources has walked away with a pension more than those working 30 years could save up for..
This is probably what the author of this particular piece of tripe was attempting to report onIn total, over €100,000 will be paid to a staggering 30 ex ministers this year, with Bertie Ahern leading the pack with an annual pension of €152,331 – despite being 14 years younger than the regular pension age. Cowen is just behind with yearly payouts of €151,061.'
