The older corpo houses were better built than the junk built in the last 10 years

I'm sick of all these budget debates, all that happens is that people call on 1 specific topic that directly affects them. Nobody suggests a better cut/tax raise in the place of this.

In case people weren't aware, this country is broke!

No doubt...but many of them were built before there was the level of insulation products that are available now.

The madness in this is that you lay off these guys to pay them to sit on their holes whilst people draw a fuel allowance for heat that's going to waste.

The Green Party are dead makes sense to me to cut this, if I had a spare 4 g's the last thing I'd be spending it on is this. Wear an extra jumper, jobs oxo.

There weren't that many people who spent €4000 on external insulation, most of them spent a few hundred getting rockwool in the ceiling. I know it was the Greens idea but try to look beyond that, it was actually a good scheme that was self financing.

I've no idea where FG are going to create 100,000 jobs if they are doing this. 9 months in and we still have no proper jobs strategy.

It's a terrible line...

Around 1980 the Irish developer discovered plasterboard and timberframe, since then the houses have been shoddy with brutal insulation with the exception of a lot of self builds.

Myself and the brother put proper insulation in the attic of the oul fellas bungalow last November, cost €350 for material (labour was us so was free), he had the money on oil saved by March! Go figure. It was a good scheme, to cut it is very short sighted.

Annual is a wonderful word. I get paid 400k annually...

The first caller said the elderly took a hit in the budget.

I'm sick of this tear jerking shít. The elderly took fúckall of a hit. Yet again.

But people still lump them in to the poor, unemployed, vulnerable, sick, Marginalised category in order to garner sympathy for their plight.

Most of the elderly I know are well able to afford to live comfortably.

Those who can't had a lifetime to make provisions for their future.
Ifs not like old age comes as a surprise to anyone.

If they took a hit in their pensions, then they might have something to moan and whinge about, and talk to Joe about their plight.

A reduction in the fuel allowance from 32 to 26 weeks is litte to be cribbing about in the scheme of things.

FFS these insulation comapnies ringing in saying they employed people and now they'll probably let them go now the grant is reduced. Surely the employees deserve to be told the situation before it's aired to the nation!

For some reason it reminds me of the "I'm 17!" comment from a caller ages ago. Think it might have been the hedgehogs.

I agree with sudzs, this would have been difficult enough for her to achieve had she been a man.. The fact that she achieved it while also having the liability of being a woman is certainly to her credit..


She'd want to have a word with their web designer though.. it's fkd up..
