I'm getting annoyed listening to this 22 hours stuff. On a good week I work 50, some weeks its closer to 60 and I still bring work home.

Looks like a lot of employers out there are taking advantage of their staff and breaking the law. We really are a spineless.

She sounds too old to be interrailing

In fairness (and I'm not a teacher!), teachers get paid for 22 hours per week, not the extra stuff they do. She's not helping herself by phrasing it that way.

I'm sure most of us had teachers who did extra work, be that take teams etc. they almost always don't get paid for those types of things.

It'll be great for this thread if the teachers reject HRA and go on strike come September, can you imagine the outraged Mudders.

Has any one mentioned the fact that Thoorballylee flooded a few years back and thats why it fell into dereliction?

Sittingpretty

Oh Jeeeeesus......

Lenin Skynard

Ugh as if it wasn't bad enough having to pay for the cliffs of Moher, some wan rings in suggesting to charge people for even more things in rip-off republic.

We decided to "holiday at home".

Oh poor you, how very bourjoisie of you.

Weimar, in the Weimar Republic. Thanks for the Geography lesson Joe.

Meathlass

I can answer the question for this woman.

We have no money to do any of these things. The National Museum and Heritage Council haven't a penny between them. I'm not saying it's right but that's the way it is.

Also the mania for doing up every derelict and historic building is unreal.

Ive been disappointed with the strikes we have had so far. On Monday they say they are striking until their demands are met and they are back to work by Wednesday.

This place, (WBs old gaff), sounds like it's a perfect representation of the state of the country. Tourists should see the reality.

And coming on the national airwaves to tell everyone about it don't you know. Wot, wot?

ButtersSuki

Random nerds around the country ring in with local building talk. Blake's Corner will be in again before 3 at this rate.

I was probably guilty of it myself in the past, but I really can't stand people who visit a country for the first time and come back and keep banging on about what they do in the other country that we dont do here and we should start doing it.

This. A thousand times over.

In fairness, you won't get the same numbers willing to pay a fee as are now visiting for free so you can't do a cost analysis on that basis.

An Claidheamh

I'd love to go there if Vincent Browne was giving the talk!

Seriously though, painting ourselves as cultural and then charging people a fiver to step into the tower?

Museums are meant to be free. Do these people not realise they sound like gombeens?

Clery's is still closed, and no one is banging on about that

ButtersSuki

Everybody in the world knows about James Joyce. No, no they don't.

Roger_007

The reputed 400,000 listeners to Liveline has now been reduced to 23!
