    I'm tempted to say what I'd like to do to him with his €100 tie - but I'd probably get banned.:D

    Is there any point arguing about people being unable to pay the charge without any figures on just how many people would be unable to afford it?

    According to donal, this thread established the fact that everyone in the country has disposable income.

    I wonder then, how did mortgage and utility bill arrears occur, was it because every person in this position went and bought iphones and watched tv instead of paying their bills?

    I was thinking along the lines of hanging the tie from the nearest overhanging tree branch - with a certain politician still wearing it.:D:D:p

    Why the **** do this shower need 10,000 silk ties and a similar amount of silk scarves for the 'ladies'.

    10,000??? that's 10,000 folks, of each!!!

    Even if they get them at a fiver each, that's €100,000.

    €100,000

    You really couldn't write this stuff.
    The arrogance and contempt this government show the electorate is stunning, simply stunning.

    Haughey will never be dead, if you pulled Kenny's face off you'll find Charlie's!

    Think I'll e-mail the troika and let them know..

    You trawled eTenders and that's the best you can come up with as an example of government waste?

    What has it to do with Local Authority funding anyway?

    About as much as the household tax, which is of course is being used to (in)directly fund the bailout!

    Jesus, even when I put dv under the bridge I can still see his silly little trollish remarks when someone else quotes him.

    Like a bad smell, it's hard to get rid of bull****e.

    His myopic ramblings are all over boards.ie.

    Ah well,we'll carry on....

    Do you ever wonder where all the cash goes...

    I posted this on another thread but it's worth a look here.

    This is why we can't balance the budget.

    The majority of the country couldn't give a flying fcuk about the wastage that is happening, unfortunately. Or might care but they will do sweet fcuk all and more than likely comply to the sh1te that is handed down from the government.

    That's fcuked up. He did 4 years teaching back in the early 70s and he is entitled to a 130,000 a year pension from his teaching days. Not to mention his politicians pension on top of that.

    That's scandalous!
    “Having refused to answer questions about his teaching pension for over a week he has now admitted that he deliberately deferred it in order to get a bigger payout. It now appears that he will get paid 3 pensions – TD, minister and teacher and that he will get the teaching pension for 34 years service even though he didn’t set foot in a classroom for 30 of those years.”

    Politicians looking after themselves instead of the people they're meant to serve!

    If I had to pay it I wouldn't bother. There are so many people not paying it what are they going to do stick everyone in jail, deduct it from the wages of 10,000 households, that assuming they have wages coming in.

    Unfortunately I was always one for saying people should pay their taxes but not when they're going to the banks.:mad:

    I notice that DV Power is able to come on here and "thank" some peoples posts (post 3925),but yet he wont confront any post thats put to him and shows how dodgey and crooked Phil Hogan really is.

    All the blatant (2 fingered salute to the public attitude) use/wastage of tax payers money on lavish holidays and expenses,his avoidence of paying HIS OWN property taxes and fees.



    Why wont he confront and respond to all the posts highlighting how dodgey and crooked Phil Hogan is??

    This is why we can't balance the budget.
    Enda Kenny chose to defer drawing down a pension that he earned while teaching until he actually retires rather than taking it now and this is why we can't balance the budget?

    Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of people evade their taxes, but that apparantly has no impact at all?

    You inhabit a mixed up reality.

    Why does he need three bloody pensions? it doesnt matter when he can draw them down, why does he need three? Why do any of them need more than one??

    How do you sit there and defend this s***e?

    If you saw a chap begging and you gave him a fiver then he walked across the road and drove off in a merc, would you give him another fiver?
    he deliberately deferred it in order to get a bigger payout
    It now appears that he will get paid 3 pensions – TD, minister and teacher
    already admitting to having taken a quarter of million in severance and pension while still a TD even though he has been campaigning against these payments

    makes me sick

    They all take the p*ss really and dont even think twice about it either, tis pretty infuriating really and is also a shame that it now seems to be the norm.

    Dont see how anyone could possibly defend it either.
