Baloney about people being over 70 being entitled to and medical card regardless of income. Come on , does someone with a good pension and assets deserve this ? And don't tell me they don't use it if they have it . I know of millionaires who are using the medical card. People with money are often much meaner than those who never had it. Could we have some rational debate for once!
Generalisations about the public service. I totally agree with reform and feel that lack of it is actually very unfair on diligent people in the public service. I felt that the government of the day missed a great opportunity to tackle absenteeism and ineptitude when benchmarking was proposed. However, I am sick to death of generalisations. Blame the employer for failing to manage it, stop blaming ALL the employees.
The rubbish about the Celtic Tiger, and the boasting that went with it. We alienated half Europe and then we vote No. We're an ungovernable lot!!
RTE.........and their take on Obama, talk about partisan, but they've plenty of practise as they were very good at playing the Irish Republican card.
RTE..............Tell, Kenny, Finucane, Tubridy, Ryan and Duffy that times are hard and we can no longer afford them. Go on take a chance, bet there's no one out there going to offer them those salaries. Negotiate salaries more in keeping with the size of their audience.
End of present rant!!!!
very good
