You posted a youtube link, what the f**k has an offshore DNS got to do with a youtube link?

It is much more common practice that a business would issue a fuel card such as DCI for example, meaning like a visa card can be spent in most places, so too can the fuel card.

I see no logic to restricting an employee with a company vehicle to have to use a specific fuelling stationb franchise, whether that be Apple Green, Circle K, Maxol or whatever.

Similarly, there is also an extremely good reason most haulage companies in this country bulk buy their fuel, and have it delivered to them on site.

I can assure you, it's not the likes of Topaz or Apple green that do be sending fuel tankers to the hauliers yard, and it's not hard to guess why.

It would seem that you don’t know how buying fuel in bulk works, or how fuel cards work.

DCI cards are only for small operators who have a few vehicles on the road.

And, Topaz, Apple Green are sending fuel tankers to the hauliers yard.
How did you think it was getting there?

“Would it not be a nice gesture? If I were a billionaire with private health facilities I would see it as my duty to help were I could. Not unlike the HSE staff volunteering their time.
It's really sad some people see such decent gestures as only possible in farce.“

So it’s ok for everyone else to donate but not yourself?

Not trying to derail, just this place is full of people complaining but ask them to get off their ass and help or put their hand in pocket and they soon head for hills

A fail there horse.
What has one to do with the other?
Good effort at dodging the entire point to try derail.
Would it not be a nice gesture? If I were a billionaire with private health facilities I would see it as my duty to help were I could. Not unlike the HSE staff volunteering their time.

What's complaining about asking that? If I made billions off the Irish tax payer and had access to my own medical facilities I'd offer them not fleece the tax payer aided by my pals in FG. All's I'm saying is it would be nice wouldn't it? Mr. O'Brien is a businessman and not beholden to the tax payer.

I fund the HSE and work for an essential service, however that has zero to do with a billionaire doing the taxpayer a solid as a nice gesture.
Pointing out the differences between the oft chastised HSE workers volunteering and the captains of industry aided in fleecing the tax payer by Fine Gael, once again.

Next time FG and their followers are bitching about the Irish, unions and nurses it'll be good to recall these times.

WTF is wrong with you, do you have reading comprehension issues

I stated exactly why it made much more sense in the post you replied to.

I see no logic to restricting an employee with a company vehicle to have to use a specific fuelling station franchise, whether that be Apple Green, Circle K, Maxol or whatever.

Next up I'll show you examples of why giving an employee a company credit card makes more sense than giving them a one4all voucher.

Fuel card that can be used in many different filling stations v a fuel card that has to be used in a specific filling station.

Let me know what bit of it is confusing you.

Took you long enough to come up with that response....:P


To be honest the Irish people are a shower of ungrateful......no matter what any company or person does they cry and complain. They begrudge anyone that does any better than them. Just look at all the SF people like yourself running around with glee because SF wanted to hit the people who have a decent job and earned a few quid.



I dont see anyone fleecing the taxpayer, I see a hospital trying to keep itself afloat and provide for all the people that are hired and need to earn wages from it.

McMurphy

I will add to the thread, for anyone sneering at any notion that Denis O'Brien would contemplate making any kind of a gesture towards the Irish people during a pandemic (seeing as he owns a hospital and all)

Did I imagine it, or was he all over the media a while ago helping to rebuild Haiti and other regions in the Carribbean after the national disasters a few of them experienced?

You'd imagine a token gesture of a returned favour of some sort is incoming here to the country that enabled his wealth, especially in the present times when we still have a party in govt (albeit in a caretaker capacity) that have consistently awarded him lucrative state contract's 2 which had to undergo enquiries, 1 of which is still not concluded, and undoubtedly a third one for the NBP will be in the post.

Denis O'Brien wouldn't give us the fingers - surely not?

You explained it very well with your example of the company credit card.

Is it so difficult to extrapolate that example to fuel cards?

You are really desperate now. How long I took? It wasnt much. I was away.
You've still not addressed it. Be nice no?

It's cool I know FG don't like the Irish. It's not news.
'Ungrateful'. That's the lord and master FG attitude alright. You should all be ran out of politics and forced to earn an honest living.
Do you even realise that FG's whole job is putting the Irish people first? Hard to believe I know.

With all due respect shed, you're equally out of your depth on this one, I mean who uses a leasing company's fuel account as a shining example of anything?

You do understand leasing company's lease you a vehicle, but the insurance and fuelling costs are covered by the client leasing the vehicle I assume?

Any vehicles I have leased, and I have leased quite a few have maybe a quarter of a tank in it when I initially got it, (when they're brand new) and the leasing company never set eyes on the van again until the lease was up, usually after 3 years or so. Sometimes they never seen it again at all, as whatever garage we would be getting them serviced in might be flipping them on to a third party from there.


Edit, either shefwedfan deleted his post where he claimed I had no idea what I was talking about, or the site is acting as flaky as hell tonight. But this post was in response to his.

The question was why the government picked Topaz....as I posted they probably picked them because of coverage, using the lease company as an example as they have a large fleet

Any lease I have got, tank is full, no idea what difference that makse


The company tracks it for the entire lease. Mileage/services/tires etc. Any accidents have to be reports, any breakdown reported direct to them etc etc etc....

One of the biggest margin a lease company makes is selling the car at the end.....

I worked in the fuel industry in Ireland for more than 15 years.

We had many unmarked fuel trucks, and they even delivered to the opposition.

You seem to be making claims that you can’t back up.

Please back up your claims with proof.

FG will launch a new policy in the next week or so, and insist,, that every home in the state, receive a new SMART ESB meter.

Rumour has it that new ESB SMART meters will be linked to previously installed water meters,, and failure to pay either,will result in cessation of both services.

The tender for the installation of SMART meters will go live in weeks,, with final contracts will be signed soon.

A FG government spokesman when asked about the unused water meters, replied ..

""they haven't gone away you know""

Probably did, I'm not really arguing that point - this will be the third time I will be trying to make this point though.

It makes much more sense (practically) to go down the universal fuel card road, rather than be tied to a specific chain of filing stations.

There's obviously a sneaky suspicion why Topaz got the gig, but that'll never be proven and so not really worth arguing the toss over.

Bulk buying in the same manner as the likes of haulage companies do is much, much more cost effective way of managing fuel costs, but obviously as you say, it's not simple or practical for the guards to get their own pumps like a haulage yard.

Wrong

We lease from Windsor in Parkwest, they literally do none of that (bar the accidental damage and breakdowns needing to be reported), we have roughly 3/4 of our vans tracked, but they're our trackers fitted at our expense.

Differen experiences I suppose.

It has already started to roll out....
