Liveline: "I'm down in the hood, I'm on tik-tok" sez Joe

I feel very strange. I am agreeing with Joe's intentions, on not one but two issues.

this lad can refuse the state pension worth €250 a week and keep his €50 a week from the army if it keeps him happy. Jesus Christ. Would need sock puppets to explain things

He mustn't have heard them saying his pension would be cut :-)

Joe, 200 euro a month would not cover my gas or ESB bill.

Joe: "It is a lot(€50 a week)."

Says the guy robbing the Irish taxpayer to the tune of €6,730 a week. Bearing in mind he also takes off an inordinate amount of time off "work".

We want to hear more about the mechanic chef, fascinating.

Caller, stop talking down the economy

I'm lucky enough to have a very nice house with a very handy mortgage. I do not envy people my age (early 40's) still renting.

Where did you serve ?

In de Soccer 5-a-side organisation

The Leb?

Mossad interfering on de line

TYFYS

G'day mate !!!!

How can bloated Joe, with his. Almost half a million p.a. in "fees" empathize (with a straight face) with a retired soldier who's losing 100 euro per month in his pension?

"100 euro is a lot of money", says Joe. Joe could use 100 euro notes as coasters without costing him a second's distress.

A Yank? An Aussie? or watches too much foreign TV?

We really are screwed. The pittance given to carers currently is like we are living under austerity, but when the next crash or crisis happens, and the magic money tree disappears, cutting that won't raise anything.

Meanwhile millions no, billions is being thrown into ridiculous causes. When that money is gone, it's gone.

Joe, are you coming up to your retirement?

Joe if you had stayed an RTE employee instead of setting up a bogus company, you would probably be on a pension of €75k a year now

Joe's hatred of Civil Service and former Minister's pensions raises it's head again. He is soooo bitter he had to lose his RTE pension when he went contracting. . Wants it every way, does Joe

And where are you from originally?

Buying Dairy Milks = money laundering

Stone the flamin crows!

S'truth!

Lisa, the big problem is who is going look after your children when you cannot. This is where I have seen de System really fail.

Lisa, is right, they do treat you like dirt when you speak to them in Sligo, I've been through it.

They have shorter hours dan radio presenters !
