    What happened next? Has to be more interested than Liveline today

    No it was fairly dull. Saw two lads thieving, approached them, they offered to wash my windows, I declined, I took their reg, car model, etc, rang Gardaí, Gardaí came round, they took prints, etc and caught the lads about two hours later, job done.

    I'm sorry but I actually think it's a good idea to name the bridge after Fiona Pender, if only to keep her name at the forefront of people's minds so that it is never forgotten that there are missing women in Ireland, and suffering families that need closure, we can't give up finding out what happened to them

    Gerry Ryan had a bench, no probs there, just saying

    Stupid idea to name a bridge after a missing person. Lets name the Newlands Cross road scheme the Philip Cairns freeflow junction.

    How about the "Where's Joe Duffy?, Ballyer's that-a-way Junction"

    Sounds like this caller has been celebrating the best news he's heard in years with a few connie ones over lunch.

    This lad makes good points, but unfortunately I think a number of shouty union type callers are being lined up against him.

    those agreements were the biggest scam going. glad to see the unions getting a thumping on this and maybe their members will finally realise wages are to high

    not sure but €125 a week extra for just turning up to work sounds like an easy life

    Well yer man just said that if you lived more than 10 miles from the office, you would get an extra 150 a week, 150 divided by 5 is 30 so the figure seemed close enough, but I could easily believe if there was a turning up allowance as well.

    They guy around the corner on the black market.


    Probably a fully qualified electrician who lost his job due to the ridiculous pay demands by the union that represented him.

    "economy of scale"

    The first rule of economy is something is worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. A potato doesn't arbitrarily decide it is worth 5 euros, so I don't see why an electrician should decide he is arbitrarily worth 22 euros an hour.

    Maybe he is annoyed that even he doesn't earn 22 euros an hour.
