    ... and if he stepped down tomorrow, or any of the other ICTU heads, what would their golden handshake be? It would put Sean Fitzpatricks golden handshake in perspective.

    What is the purpose of the Irish central bank? What does it's staff do all day? I think it should be "slimmed down" and its dame st office put to better use.

    Board Silly!

    Would anyone like to post who they would like to have on the board of the Central Bank instead?
    Dave McWilliams? Danny McCoy?


    Vlad The Impaler was the original stakeholder!

    Old joke:
    Q: What's the difference between a non-executive director and a supermarket trolley?

    A: You can put more food & drink into the non-exec director, but the trolley has a mind of its own.

    It's all in here.
    Nothing will motivate the lazy / apathetic / Americanised / west-British types to embrace their culture and the Irish language.
