    Using the FOI RTE have revealed that two minor junior ministers are to receive 53,000 euro in severance payments having lost thier positions in the May reshuffle. Grand stuff lads, this little earner has been in place since 1992 it turns out. Funny how the info wasn't readily availible.

    53 grand for getting demoted is probably more ludicrous than 85grand for loosing your seat:

    Not forgetting the pensions of course...great set up they have there

    That depends, payments for a change in work conditions and redundancy payments have certain tax exemptions. If you look at the Examiner piece it says.

    "This included an untaxed lump sum of €17,430 and taxable payments of €6,633 a month for half a year and payments of €4,527 for a further six months."

    Yes it is a joke really alright. Might see if they demote me here in the job and then put a claim in for a wad of cash. I wonder what will be said to me :D
