    But dont worry, the Public sector unemployment rate will remain unchanged at 0!

    Yesterday it took 5 council workers to fill in 1 pot hole! 3 stood around chatting, 1 on a mobile phone and another holding up the shovel!

    And if they have to sack someone the poor bloke on the shovel is gone..

    Expect to see FF ministers hiding from the media today, as they will have already been told the numbers.

    The PDs don't run hospitals the bloated cosseted public sector does.

    Sorry to go OT here, but talking about Council wastage, how about the Public Arts initiative? For every development over E2 million, residential or otherwise, we get a sculpture costing a minimum of around €25k. Thanks to this innovative scheme, we have this:


    Meanwhile people die on trolleys in the local A&E department.

    Folks, we're talking about real people losing their jobs here. A little sensitivity please.
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.

    A morbidly obese woman has been managing the Health department for years, a woman who has never worked outside of politics in her life, more cosseted by the state than any champagne socialist. A woman who things that a good haircut is worth more than a girls life. The rot in the health system starts at the very top, there is no doubt that senior management is bloated, but that is Harney's doing, there is no doubt that consultants in Ireland are paid way above their European counterparts, all allowed by Harney. What is the betting, that once she is removed from office, that she will go in to manage or set up a Health consultancy, there will be some money in calling in those favours.

    It will be up and around the 26k mark for March and April. However with the school and college graduates coming on stream in June/July, expect to see a further jump.

    The increase in income tax/ PRSI and other levies in the budget will also see to it that many others will lose their jobs.
