Disgust at the revelation that public sector bodies are WASTING TAX-PAYERS MONEY on membership of IBEC - this has got to be a scandal! I work for a relatively small public sector organisation and yesterday some of my colleagues and I found out that our management pays over €15,000 (annually) of TAX-PAYERS MONEY assigned to the running of the organisation to none other than IBEC! To say that we, the employees, were aghast at this revelation is an understatement! Why, we wondered, would a public-sector body have funds to waste on the dreaded enemy of public services?! And not just any funds, but tax-payers hard earned funds, in a time when we're seeing cuts to health services, disability benefits, the unemployed, public transport and across the education sector!! |

Jump To Comment: 1 2If there is a change of government we have to fight to stop Enda Kenny avoiding a lot of hard facts on Fianna Fails corrupt
governance of this country.The whole system needs to be changed. The Corrib gas issue has been carefully avoided by Kenny, he just states ( as do Labour) that a deal has been made and can't be changed. The fact that the deal was made by two criminals must be forced down his throat.
WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD CORRUPTION.
DONT LET A NEW GOVERNMENT COMMIT THE SAME CRIMES AS THE OLD ONE.
Whenever our financial institutions lower the credit limits, without the customer's consent or input, by the way, it isn't a happy thing for a lot of people. It leads to higher interest rates, and when those credit limits get lowered it isn't good for small businesses that depend on the corporate credit card to pay bills and get crucial supplies. Obama's stimulus and tax incentives haven't driven a lot of spending, banks won't lend, but the positive is that the personal saving rate is increasing, and some are taking the opportunity to get out of debt. Lowering credit limits leads a lot of people to look into a cash advance instead.
