Nurse in the ps v private agency nurse. I would imagine the private agency nurse is getting paid a bit more plus gets to file her own tax returns

Revenue changed the system years ago....nowadays agencies are the employers and they are responsible for the payment of salaries net of the usual deductions.

Minister Reilly has also conceded that the mass exodus of 3,500 staff from the HSE will mean that there will be cancellations in elective surgery with patients having to face longer waits on public waiting lists. He said "I've absolutely no problem in saying that if one of the things we have to do is slow down on elective inpatient procedures for a short period of time to allow us absorb this change, then we'll do that". "But we will increase our productivity toward the middle of the year, because I have made it very clear that the new challenge this year is that every patient be treated within nine months."

If you listened to Michael Taft last sunday you would have heard that in order for us to meet the oecd average we would need to be spending another 8bn on public services. If you listened closer you would have heard him say that Dutch Clerical staff get 40% than Irish clericals.

Tis a bit easy to go with the headlines but once you investigate it further you start to see the wood from the trees and you start to understand that people want you to bleieve that the ps is overstaffed/ over paid, under worked 'cos it suits their agendas but thereality is somewhat different

A band member in the private sector gets about 1 million times an army band member. Should we use this as an example too?

Senior counsel is self employed and not guaranteed work or pay.
