Whats the acceptable amount you would imagine a single person should live on? What should a single mother or father get with kids. I am really…

I still cannot believe the vile towards social welfare ...they took a cut...and in the mean time you have the banks and P.s giving themselves bonuses and no cuts for the P.S a bit of fairness please

Now this annoys me. Those peoples bonuses could be part o their employment contracts as part of their renumeration (prove you are good and you will be paid via bonus. If you are no good we dont have to pay you. If you are good you get paid).

People on social welfare have no right to complain about how much others are earning or how much they should get cut by.
Where do you think your social welfare is coming from?

How would they like if we had a system where your PRSI got banked as insurance for yourself only and didnt get shared among everyone else. Then you'd be praying the people who earn more to share out their taxes with you.

Im happy to pay my tax to support you. But please realize that you need people like me to pay tax. And for us to continue paying it in Ireland too.

FYI - I am not public sector. I am not a banker.
I get a bonus. I get perks. I get extra days off as bonuses too. I pay over €2000 in tax a month. My company is making a loss, but my performance is making them money, so they owe me my bonus, as agreed when i went to work for them. I consider these perks and bonus part of my salary.
If they dont want to pay them then they have broken their side of the contract and im off.
