Ha ha poor man . If. That was an Irish politician . He would have got a golden hand shake and pension for life

100K for a year? Chicken feed if you compare the brown envelopes (some) of our elected recieved over the years.

He’d never get jail for anything like that here….

Austrians ! You can earn the money legaly !
Here’s how – The Comparison.

Germany
Dr. Angela Merkel
She holds a doctorate in physics
Salary 220.000 Euro Annually Expenses included.
Europe’s largest economy
Population: 82.1 million (UN, 2011)
President Christian Wulff sacked in February over a housing loan scandal,
Dr. Merkel is entitled to a pension of €9,600 a month at the retirement age of 65
Sacked Minister of defense Theo von Gutenberg will recieve a pension of €1,600
for his 7 years in parliament when he retires at 65 as his period as a minister is too short for a larger entitlement.

Ireland
Mr Enda Kenny
worked as a primary school teacher
(Salary of €200,000 + Expenses Annually )
Population: 4.5 million
Bank & Property Scandal, who’s accountable?
By 2016 – the end of the Dáil term – if all 15 Cabinet members were then to retire, their pension entitlements, if secured by buying annuities today, would cost €36 million.(IT)

“It is a breach of European Parliament rules to charge money to change legislation.” Really? Who’d a thought that? That said ignorance is no excuse. Surprised some of ours weren’t stung.

Oh my goodness, a corrupt politician. Who’d have ever thunk it possible eh?

Its time we brought some of our guys to book we must be the laughing stock of Europe . How can we expect any help wit our bank dept when thy see how self serving and corrupt. Our leaders are .

I am shocked—shocked I tell you!!

Would and will happen in Ireland.

This stuff is par for the course in Europe.

In fairness I would imagine those days went out with the last shower.
I would think the bad apples would be scared s*itless to take a baclhander

Try comparing Angela Kearns and Angela Merkel salaries and pensions.
One runs a Rehab group in Ireland and the other runs Europe.
Shocking results. Of course ms Kearns is the only one qualified in the world to do the job like Gilmore’s wife who just got presented a similar high paid job by Raoiri Quinn with a huge pension and allowances thrown in I am sure. Good old Ireland and their politicians — we could teach the Austrians a few things.

Amazing when you look at what our corrupt politicians get to go away with their slap own the bum.

This is a funny ol country we live in.

Hardly any tax charged to some of the biggest companies on the planet based here in ireland.
Bailing out the banks for the trouble banks got us into.
Kicking ppl out of their own homes so the very own banks we are bailing out can take them.
After the above to then put hefty taxes on the vulnerable under “austerity”
Selling out out own natural resources also for the above.
Tax breaks for the lines of business the particular politician has the vested interest in (tax free horse racing industry to name just one).
Electing in the most idiotic party with what seems like not even one of them can think for themselves and have not improved the country one but since taking over.
Politicians being one of the highest paid on the planet.
Doctors paid one if the highest on the planet while we have one of the worst health systems for a 1st world country.

And all this while we sit their watching coronation st. moaning about the state the countries in during the add break.

Get out in your droves people, join groups, march against this. We are once again fighting for our freedom, get out, join a group and show this country that were not taking anymore crap.

Do some research as to why we are in this mess. It wasn’t us spending more than our means, it was the banks and the media and politicians making us all think we had to get huge credit and buy a new house under a hugely engineered price fixed by the globalists above.

It’s time for a real change.

The technical problems in proving corruption in Ireland beyond reasonable doubt, the strength of libel laws, some politicians will issue legal proceedings against journalist personally at the drop of a hat, the culture of tacit acceptance of buying influence with elected representatives and the distancing of a direct link between the payments and the favour means that corruption will continue to thrive in Ireland.

The late Jim Mitchell had a consultancy name at the address of a burned down property to receive consultancy fees for lobbying for a fixed line competitor of Eircom. The Moriarty Tribunal has the full details. It was not necessarily improper, illegal but it is interesting how careful the measures taken were in order to avoid any visibility of or link of the Consultancy with Jim Mitchell who previously had the Communications portfolio.

Much influence buying by means of retaining retired Ministers and retired civil servants, such as Paraic O’hUiginn, was not illegal or strictly speaking improper under current standards but it does show that in Ireland it is relatively easy to buy influence in the corridors of power and our Ministers are very open to such influence.

Many public decision are made as a result of influence and not on the objective merits.

Don’t underestimate how corrupt the Austrians are. They make the Irish look angelic.
