TD's still getting their teacher's salaries

[The Trinity Politick]

Ah come on jmcc, Bertie offered to pay back the "dig-out" money he got from his friends, and FG acknowledged that he did the decent thing too.

Didn't they ?

Well they would say that, wouldn't they? Perhaps I'm just too cynical about politicians and they really are doing this for the good of the country and the people.

Never mind about the current Minister for Education draining the purse strings....ENDA KENNY IS DOING IT!!!! omg omg omg .......this is pure entertainment

Is it just teachers who have this entitlement or are all Public Service employees entitled to a similar leave of absence from their jobs should they be fortunate to get elected as TDs?

Teachers

Other public sector workers are entitled to take a career break (up to 1,3 or 5 years depending where) but you have to return to first availble position, do not continue pension rights and lose all seniority rights etc.

retraining for someone like Hanafin after 10 years is one thing...imagine Noonan losing his seat and trying to teach a rowdy bunch of teens....would it be "Jail not Bail" for them too

To show that i am not picking on any party Enda Kenny apparently only resigned his post about 18 months ago, but at least he has done the decent thing.

Yet you post this in the FF forum?

Is there a full list available anywhere of the TD's who are still recieving payments? I'm just curious to see whom and what parties.
