Ireland, once known as
The Island of Saints and Scholars
Now better referred to as:
The Island of Saints and Scholars
Now better referred to as:
The Island of Taints and Dollars
In some of my recent past Posts/Rants I was expressing the need and the hope that the Irish Parliament might see fit to show some moral backbone and lead the country from the front by taking a 50% cut in their truly massive, and now immoral, salaries and pensions.
This proposition however would seem not to have struck a positive chord from our leaders. The actuality would seem to be quite the opposite in fact. With retired former politicians having the cheek to publicly state they will not budge voluntarily.
It would appear that it will take a legal crowbar or legislative JCB to force any reduction whatsoever from these greedy people.
"Screw the population - we are holding onto what we have" - is the war cry from our elected leaders!
