    Will Turlough reveal his retirement package? A little more than 200 euro a week that most of the workers in this country will have I imagine.

    Good riddance to him. The whole of IBEC should be retired. Im sure they can all survive on their ill gotten gains, noses shoved out of the trough of public finances once and for all.

    He was perfectly suited for the ahern era so. They and begg oversaw a collapse in competitivness, a property bubble and the benchmarking atm. On that basis i wish him well in his retirement.

    Good riddance is right. I can't stand IBEC and, in particluar, this cheerleader for exploiting middle-class employers.
