    No but spending millions of euro setting up and developing the club for the fifteen years that the Ryder Cup wasn't there was a risk.
    You think setting up the K-Club was a risk? The club is an overpriced exclusive golf course in celtic tiger Ireland ffs. It on its own is a licence ot print money

    This is something that keeps cropping up on this thread. It is not the staff of the K Club who brought the Ryder Cup to Ireland. They are salaried employees, they took no risk in setting up that business or running it over the last 15 years.

    Correct and right Ballooba.... lets cut to the chase... Staff saw the Ryder Cup coming over the horizon...saw the opportunity to put the squeeze on for the fewextra shills.... that the situation.... happens all over the country usually at bank Holiday weekends in the transport industry.... nothing unusual

    K-Club was set up in 1991. Long before the Celtic Tiger, which only started in the mid 90's.

    but you approve of this greedy muppetry do you not .

    I must bang a house onto that site for €57000 , it will look good :D

    It doesn't matter whether I approve of it or not. Those people will not get that money for their house.

    My post was talking about decent honest people charging honest prices, profiteering is profiteering whatever shape or form it takes.

    Not quite - your original post on this was that the workers had no right to protest - whether their pay claims are justified or not.

    They should be sacked, the whole country is looking forward to the Ryder Cup and these whingers are trying to ruin it.

    Whether their wage claim is legitimate or they are just pure profiteering they should be sacked.
    No chance that these workers could be "decent honest people" too?

    No actually, it was about the timing of the strike.

    Possibly. Given what they're doing. Probably not.
