    we would have had to deal with an over inflated public sector wage bill even the banking collapse never happened , the bank collapse has only compouned the problem , our enormous public sector pay bill was financed on the back of the property boom and no property boom continues indefinatley , our economy was a one trick pony where 25% of the workforce were working in construction in one shape or form , the construction bubble has burst and everything we see now can be traced back to this , its all very simple really , the ps wage bill was not financed from conventional income tax receipts and it cannot be financed from that now so it has to be cut

    Well, perhaps had some people in construction realised that no-one was going to buy houses forever, they could have got out of the industry before it imploded, or stayed in school and got a proper job.

    I'm bloody sick of listening to the public sector trade unions like impact and the ICTU go on about pay cuts. Get a fvcking grip will you! There are a considerable number of people in the public sector who are overpaid for the work that they do. You dont deserve your salary! Quit your poxy moaning!
    It really is scary how quickly government agitprop becomes the opinion of the man in the street. And it's dispiriting how the Irish will refer to any protest, opposition or dissent as "whinging", "whining" and "moaning". Probably ultimately a by-product of never having a functioning parliament.

    Oh dear, another insight into the Public sector mind :o
    You would think you would have learned something from watching J'OC, if you dont have something intelligent to say or know what your talking about . . .
    Best say nothing
