Nursery : €45 for 5 days 4 hours.

Tax : Joint income of €50,000

Council Tax : €0

Better paid job. (30% better)

child benefit : double than in the UK.

Personally, I am €15,000 a year better off in Ireland

Not sure if this works, but My Life, Ire vs UK

You can save yourself some more money by going north to shop as well.

I hope that the paint was purchased locally.

ch750536 · 17-12-2008 4:16pm

Almost certainly was.

How much do you spend on health every year? How much extra do you spend on energy? How much more do you spend on basic essentials? How much hours do you waste every year because of rubbish infrastructure etc etc. The Govt wasted billions of our money over the last decade and we're all going to have to pay for it. All our taxes are going to be going up in the next few years anyway to pay for that waste.

It's heart-warming to know that the vandals are shopping locally.

Less than I have no choice in spending in the UK as it comes out of my tax (which is much higher than Ireland)

Roughly €300

20% saving in Ireland. Let me explain.
In the UK they don't have a butcher and grocer any more in the towns & villages, so they are something of a luxury, and very very expensive.
For the same cut of meat you pay about 40% more.
Since I won't eat the tat that most supermarkets serve it is cheaper for me here in Ireland for food when comparing against the UK.
I also never eat processed food.

Not entirely sure of your point but I think nothing. I would like a local swimming pool though, nearest one is 20 mins away.

Same is true of any country in the world, nothing new there.

I saw this on another thread you were banging on in, how in gods name can anybody charge this for childminding? The only way is if its using slave labour...i work with a guy that owns a creche and he assures me that its impossible to charge this little unless the owners are paying no tax, feeding the kids aldi brand rice and water and paying the staff well under the minimum wage.

Either this or its a relative doing you a favour.

Not a creche...

Lovely place, play area out the back. All the building is for the kids, including a special area upstairs for the older kids. Normally 4 carers for 20+ kids.

We do a packed lunch.

so, 20*2*45= €100,000 per year. Assume 2 trainees, 2 FT carers. Seems fine.

20 kids at 45 each per week is €900. If you are trying to say that 4 staff plus costs is 900 per week then your talking out your arse.

20kids at €45 per week times 52 is €46800!!!!

2 shifts at €45 per shift = 40 kids??
the OP said 4 hours. Also he said 20*2*45, whch probably means two shifts
€1800 per week

2 shifts were never mentioned, and that still makes it only 92,000 and this is assuming that the "kids minder place" is open 52 weeks a year which i very much doubt.

1. Why so aggressive.
2. I said at least 20 kids.
3. 2 shifts, AM & PM.

Not agressive, your numbers dont add up. If you are going to lie to prove some hairbrain theory on ireland being cheap then at least use believable figures.

Correct, however, you do have to pay half of your normal fee for when they are closed (about 8 weeks a year I reckon).

If you are going to pick a fight learn to read & understand the facts first please.

Convieniently left this out until now, keep massaging the figures to suit the argument.

ch750536 · 19-12-2008 2:51pm

Damn, just called and he was telling the truth all along, better go back and apologise, that would be the right thing to do.
