Caller:"Im going to my local TD ... this is a step too far ... we are not taking this lying down"

Over 20 fooking euro a week.

You can understand now why Brendan Howlin had such difficulty getting the allowances cut. If you say we are reducing the paper clip allowance in an office, people go to war over it. "They may take our lives, but they'll never take our allowances!"

Fearghal if it bothers you so much just go out to them with a hurl.

This guy sounds like he is hungover, or still pissed

This guy is showing himself up.

Starts off by saying she is going to die if she doesn't get the oxygen. Then he says it is over a 'miserly' €80 a month or €20 per week. Surely he and his siblings can come up with €20 a week between them, for their mother?

Then he says that she is on the Fair Deal scheme so her care is being paid for by the state and that is good but the taxpayer is mainly supporting her care.

And then he says she has been working for 60 years from her 20s - so she was working until her 80s - he's spinning a yarn.

You can buy Gulcosamine in any pharmacy or supermarket for as little as a fiver for 90 tablets (depending on the brand). You'd imagine the HSE with their buying bower could get them signiciantly cheaper than that.

The HSE seem to be incapable of doing anything other than paying way over the odds for anything, including drugs, as shown by the report a few weeks ago that shows a pitiful usage by them of generic drugs. Too many side deals with pharmaceutical companies I'd say, if I were a cynical person.

Not sure of the name but you know Dignitas the assisted suicide place in Switzerland, I hope to be able to write a will that will stand up in court while of sound mind that if I ever end up with dementia/or in a home and unable to communicate that I would want to be euthanised (sp?). I really hope its available when I'm old!

Jaysus Joe it's not a crime to be busy

The vengabus is a disgrace. Good old taxi drivers never transport drunken people, just the big bad vengabus.

Joe dragging this out. "Is there a set route".
Does it matter? It's a simple mini bus hire Joe :rolleyes: What difference does it make what price it is?

ButtersSuki

Mr. Venga: Yes Joe, we had complaints Joe about music from the Venga Bus.
Joe: Was it Sonny Knowles or Brush Shields the young people were listening to?

If Joe is offended by the horrors of the Venga Bus I think it's fair to say he has never been on the last Night Link home on the Saturday before Christmas.........

Book the bus to come to the estate where the driver lives.... see how he feels about it then.
