Default Should we pay Public Servants to Emigrate?

One of our big problems is that we have more Civil Servants than we can afford and that we pay them more than we can afford.

The Property Pyramid Scheme will not fund the public sector any longer.

We can hardly sack Civil Servants.

We could export them to other Countries and give them a gratuity of one years Salary to go, along with an option to return to fill natural wastage after the public service has contracted by 20%.

It would make most sense to export those in the higher pay scales.

Am I nuts?

Anytime anyone takes the pee out of the Civil Service, Kevin Doyle will come rushing in. (I think he has some kind of buzzer on his PC)

Kevin, where are you?

Default It would be much more cost effective

to pay 20% of them to emigrate than to keep them over five years on pay which we cont afford

We need to reduce their number by 60,000

Export them

This Kevin thinks that we are not allowed to say anything negative about our wonderful civil service. A father, two siblings, countless cousins have all acknowledged that they did absolutely ********************all work and most of them have second and third jobs. However, I can't say that cos honesty is scorned upon in democracies like ours. Civil servants work so hard that it's hard to express.

I don't think we have too many civil servant's they are just under used.

Sack the quango's and fill them with civil servants. That way you get cheaper and full time staff. There's lots of other ways to use civil servants but they sound too effective for the GOP in handle and might annoy their bits on the side

Yes you are nuts.

PS 1: Ireland has actually one of the lowest numbers of civil servants in the world. You are mixing up civil servants and public servants and blaming civil servants for the number of public servants.

PS 2: Can we pay people not to open stupid threads?
