I have a relative who lives in the country and travels each day to work in Dublin.
The cost of petrol is having an adverse affect on their income.
If it costs 75e a week that is (obviously ) 300 euro a month, to get 300e he probably has to earn the best part of 500e!! Mad Ted.
My LOS rant for today is that it cost me €75 to fill a 1.4L Golf with petrol.....petrol is just so expensive!! At almost €1.50 a litre it has shot up at a time when wages are coming down and increased taxes are being paid. But €75 to fill a car with petrol so I can get to work for the week is really bothering me....
Did they not know there would a commute from the country to Dublin every day?
During the worst recession Ireland has ever experienced the Green/FF budget wants to impose additional stealth taxes i.e. carbon taxes on top of what you already pay
Total lunancy !
They did ,why?
Just curious. Bit of a mad decision to leave that commute every day. Fuel has never really been cheap in Ireland with the amount of tax levied by the state.
It wasn't a "mad decision" rather a decision of necessity.He lost his job(local) and the only one available to him is in Dublin.

Kind of obvious really.
And sad too, I have to say,as the time they spend commuting is horrendous!
They miss out on so much,and play catch up all weekend,not to mention the pure wear and tear on the car and the person,and the risk of being involved in an accident must be higher!
Clearly I'm not as clever as you
