Ah yes Willi , good man, have heard nowt from you in months and just typical of the politics that has ruined this country ( across the board I may add) the best you can come out with is slating the opposition… It’s time for ALL of you members to put away the toys and start working with each other, stop being gobshites berating everything that’s been done, if you have nothing constructive to say, well, say nothing, the days of throwing insults back and forth is antiquated and in my humble opinion should cease immediately, start bloody talking to each other, we voted you in to do a job, a job to work for this country NOT a job where your main aim is to set yourself a goal to become a minister, get your bloody fingers out and for ONCE, I say ONCE . Put our crumbling country first and not your CV , take a good long look at yourselves in the mirror and be fecking honest, look and say ” am I in the job for me or for my country” if you have any doubt , well hang up your boots, move over and let someone who cares in, I for one have reached the end of my tether and it will not take much for me to start mobilising myself and putting myself about and for the record, I am NOT alone.

Bit rich of Willie to go criticising the present government, who inherited this confused Revenue from the previous 13 year administration.

Inefficient and inept government at its usual: Fail to keep accurate accounting of who owes what, then scare the bejesus out of ordinary people while on a trawl to fix the mistake.

Can’t see what the fuss is about this is. There was never going to be a “good way” to deliver what is essentially a letter most people don’t want to receive.

In any case, people were asked declare any additional pensions on the form so it shouldn’t be a surprise what’s happening now.

I suppose what people should be asking is why wasn’t the link up with Social Welfare done before? Seems pretty obvious that data from every Government department should be hooked up. Increases efficiency for citizens and cuts out fraud opportunities.

They are only looking at back taxing those who have undeclared private pensions of 50k on top of their state. The rest are just going to be brought in to the tax net, paying their share, their responsibilities.

Have no doubt that if they were in any of the countries that are bailing us out they would not be allowed get away with it.

Always great to see Willie o’Dea on the airways. It reminds people of the type of thing that FF TD’s and members have no problem sitting with and working along side. How they haven’t changed as an org. and are as great a threat to this country as they ever were.
