Dan Jaman

Taxation and Joe.
Via the Channel Islands, the Cayman Islands, Gibralter, Lichtenstein, and back to Clontarf.

newstalk this morning were saying labour were pushing for social welfare recipients to get their water for free so that us nice tax payers can pay even more to support some of the wasters and spongers that have been spawned off the state most of their life

And its very simple to pop the cover off the mains and have a look at the meter there too. Well it is mine anyway, the lads installing showed me before they went.

I see you're not familiar with many of our retired ex state employees who took very early retirement.

Brian Cowen, Mary Hanafin, Mary Coughlan, Dermot Ahern..

CountyHurler

"and it's not a gold pension is it"

He should know that Joe's expected response for that question is...
"haha... Jaysus no Joe, I wish it was.. like Michael Fingleton.. ha ha"..

BPKS

Half his final salary.

The old defined benefit pension, nice.

Who is paying for his pension again?

yeah but popping the cover off and looking yourself would be cop on and sensible. cop on and sensibility are alien to the liveline caller

To distinguish from the TD and ministerial pensions currently being drawn by members of the last government, most of whom have yet to reach old age.

One of the guys, can't remember who he was now, was having none of it, saying that people who get up to go to work and make an effort, no matter how little they get paid, shouldn't be penalised as a result.

AK333

So he has a public service pension
Has an old aged pension
Has a widows pension

And he's worrying about a €100 rebate/freebie :eek:

FFS, some people are just plain greedy - if you use it, you pay for it

It would be another incentive to stay on social welfare if you got free water

For only 5% contribution (which he got tax relief on). What a country.

How are water charges going to be applied for students who rent from Sept - May or people on Short Term rents?

He would not have an old age pension and a widowers pension together afaik..

Some of public service pensions can be very small as well depending on the final salary..

What the hell are these people doing with all that water? It's long after time that water charges were introduced to force them to conserve water.:mad:

lucylu

Lapin

People coming on saying they're going to be crippled for using a shítload of water then saying they have an American style washing machine and a son the spends his life in the shower.
