    anyone else feel it's a striking coincidence that the NAMA amount is exactly the same as the current national debt?! so it neatly doubles our national debt with a few strokes of a pen...

    Drumpot everyone has the right to job security.

    Ehhh you what now?
    Everyone should have the right to be treated fairly, this doesn't necessarily mean security though, it just can't in the uncertain physical world.

    Public service workers, private service workers, we are all workers, we have all finally woken up to the nightmare that is a capitalist system and its huge deficiencies.
    It was working ok, generally speaking. It still works pretty well in other places.

    It doesn't matter what system you have, people are always the weakest link, I don't think there is any such thing as a perfect system.

    44 per cent of all public servants earn less than €30,000 (this information was supplied in a written answer to a Dáil question on November 3rd)
    Nice cheating from public services

    up to
    10,000 49,747
    20,000 64,116
    30,000 69,766
    40,000 69,954
    50,000 55,586
    60,000 34,562
    70,000 22,555
    80,000 15,635
    90,000 10,379
    100,000 7,045
    100,000+ 15,278

    Total PS workers 414,623
    How you will explain that number of public servants, according to this statistic has grown to 414,623

    BTW, according ICTU, 66% of PS workers (210,000) earn more then 40K
    According to Revenue 230,994 earn more then 40K

    ICTU statement was issued in 2009, Revenue statistic belongs to 2007


    So
    question
    How many public servants do we have?
