Easier ways to earn high wage

Wednesday December 16 2009

Congratulations to Steve Rayner on becoming the Apprentice and battling for 13 weeks to get a salary of €100,000.

Would it not have been easier though to join Bord Gais and get a salary of €80,000 on average by doing little or nothing?

Or he could join Irish Rail and get paid €57,000 for apologising in an insincere manner for the heating on trains being set in Dublin or for there being no food on board.

Well done, Steve, but I am sure you will work hard for your money with Bill Cullen in charge.

A lot harder than those in the semi-state companies we pay too much for.

Athens burns as politicians vote

The historic vote paves the way for Greece's European partners and the International Monetary Fund to release 170 billion euro in new rescue loans, without which Greece would default on its mountain of debt next month and likely leave the eurozone - a scenario that would further unsettle global markets. Politicians voted 199-74 in favour of the cutbacks, despite strong dissent among the two main coalition members.
