A lot of people saying it was part of the Troika deal to bring in water charges, but was it? Anyone got a detailed link showing it as such?
Sorry but have you not heard of TUPE? Bit childish to blame the PS/CS for that.How could they start with a clean slate when Unions insisted all water staff in the Co Co's had to be transferred (probably paid 'relocation money' as well even if they didn't physically move work locations) no matter whather they were needed or not. And if I was a Co Co Manager I would have been moving my worst and most troublesome staff into the water section for at least a year before the transfer was due to take place.
Thats how the PS/CS works....Managers can't manage and everything is a compromise with the Unions. The Customer comes a distant second
Why were the employees of one body transferred into a new body which did not need them. TUPE kicks in when they are transferred and that's right and proper. The question is why were they transferred in the first place?Sorry but have you not heard of TUPE? Bit childish to blame the PS/CS for that.
Exactly. Nothing to do with TUPE. That transfer costs the state €120 million a year in totally wasted money. Irish Water has served as a great example of why labour inflexibility costs so much money.They were transferred as the civil & public service can't countenance the prospect of compulsory redundancies for superfluous staff.

Good point. It shows a systemic failing in how we run our country and we all suffer as a result.Nor indeed could the Government as employers who vetoed compulsory redundancies in order to get the Croke Park Agreement over the line , the Unions didn't even have to argue the point.
Copy catwith apologies to those who have already read this one. I think it deserves a new dust off!!

I'm fearful for my future and my children's future. If I was in my 20's I'd emigrate.I'm sorry to say but I've just woken up to an Ireland I just don't recognise or understand
