    I dont know. All I am saying is dont take things are face value.

    CIF and IBEC meet the Troika - RT News

    Wages 30%-40% higher than in Northern Ireland.

    Cannot see any bounce for a long time.

    Wages need to fall a lot further.

    Any 'Euro a brick' merchants amongst them.?

    €100 eura a callout punters?

    'Developers ' working out of 4WDs?

    Plumbers with 3 houses in Croatia?

    Hopefully there is and I might have the pleasure of telling them the 'Goose and Golden Egg' story.

    Parlon carries absolutely no weight amongst the construction workers of Ireland. He led the IFA and took their wages, became a PD and took a TD salary and now for some reason (qualifications unknown) is head of some irrelevant construction board. He likes the nice desk and the nice chair in the comfortable office but is as loyal as a hungry cat. A journeyman seeking the silver dollar is all he is.

    Construction workers are on far less than you think.
    the average for a days work is roughly 100 to 120 per day

    Tom Parlon is a weasel and no workers should trust him. He only represents himself.

    And they infamously spate at him on his way into the Labour Court negotiations. I cannot see workers coming out for him. It will be interesting to see.

    Will he be sending any of them down to Parlon country--Does Tom ever think that he played a big role in creating the problems they have today
