They say despite the collapse of the property market prices are still 10th most expensive city in the world.
Do you really think that's the answer?In order to get some realism back into the economy again, we need to cut UB from north of €250 per week down to €70 - 90 per week, and cut the minimum wage by at least 50%.
Do you really think that's the answer?
Could you survive on €70 a week?
Oh well that's okay then!Well they manage on no much more in the UK.
Familys being forced to live in poverty...Are you people serious?
I think the Irish public deserve more credit than that. People do want to work as they did during the boom time. With businesses and factorys closing down every day what are people suppose to do?My point is that there needs to be an incentive for people to work. Otherwise you end up with a whole raft of society becoming reliant on government handouts

We need to encourage people to get out and into employment as quickly as we can.
These jobs would be in the minimum wage catagory...which you recommend should be cut by 50%. What would that be; €3 an hour?. However, there are also huge shortages of staff in the service industry (eateries, cleaning companies, etc).
However, there are also huge shortages of staff in the service industry (eateries, cleaning companies, etc), and no real incentive for anyone to fill these roles which is part of the reason why we still have immigration into this country.
No we just need to cut the cost of living for essential items at the same rate as SW cuts then there standard of living doesent change. Should be pretty easy as we pay over the odds for everything in this country compared other countries.Oh well that's okay then!

How about cutting vat to 0% for people on SW for essential items.Agreed - and the first pay cuts should be on the sheltered sector in the public service.
An across the board pay cut of 20% should make any reduction in minimum wage and social welfare payments a lot more palatable and equitable
