    I agree. By the way, as the government continues to row back on its promises, FF Nua must emerge as the Party of truth
    Fine Gael's new party slogan :Er, what year was that? Circumstances have, you know, changed a bit.

    I think there will have to be a compulsory element to this.
    There will have to be a tax, but I am not optimistic about it working.

    There was an attempt to put a special tax on Bankers bonuses.

    It had to be withdrawn as it could not be finalised in time.
    Unfortunately, the lawyers could have a field day with any proposed tax.

    Mehole would have a better chance of getting turkeys to vote for Christmas than getting that useless bunch of freeloading wasters to agree (to pension handback/reduction). We have already seen the legacy these imbeciles have bequeathed us.
