They’re off: council staff are at the races
Despite the strains of the economic crisis, bosses allowed staff two "privilege" days off work on a "pro-rata basis"

They're letting themselves go: council officials right across Ireland are taking Hector O hEochagain’s advice to heart and taking time off to go racing. Last week staff from Kildare county council and Naas town council were granted unofficial holidays to attend the Punchestown festival. All full-time council staff were granted two “privilege” days in addition to their annual leave.
Council staff in Kerry, Galway and Waterford are also enjoying similar perks, despite record unemployment, the crisis in the public finances and demands for savings in the public sector. But councils insist that they are not taking taxpayers for a ride.

This isn't a matter of economics any longer .. it is a matter of Justice ... what sort of monster have we created in the public sector ?
