Public servants will be stopped from travelling first class and ministers from having a dedicated car and driver - instead they will be expected to walk, use public transport or pooled cars.
no minister should have a "dedicated car or driver" other than in exceptional circumstances
Now how about banning the absurd free car parking for life for TDs.
WTF?!?!?!
Is that true? Damn, I really went into the wrong profession...
Yep, ask George Lee.
Hear Hear! Only when the ministers here are subjected to the same traffic problems as the public, will they understand the frustrations of commuters.
Prohibit those in government from private health insurace or access to any special health facility within the gov and make them go to public hospitals and wait on a trolley like everyone else - don't think it would take too long to sort out that particular mess
Do it to HSE management and the union fat-cats as well if you really want results.
Complete aside, but do those in HSE management get VHI as part of their T&Cs? Same for those working for the union?

My mother has often said that you couldn't buy the kind of cover the Garda Medical Aid gives. I think my father actually made a profit when he was sick in hospital.Just like most of the people in the private sector.
Is there a security risk though?
What about the Minister for Justice walking around to different offices and carrying sensitive documents?
Minister for Defense also
A single adult pays just under €1700 a year for the cover provided - about 3 times the cost of standard VHI cover. It's a bit like VHI and HSF all rolled in together. Anyone can buy the HSF cover [broken link removed] if they like, so that they will 'make a profit' when they are sick.My mother has often said that you couldn't buy the kind of cover the Garda Medical Aid gives.
