Does anyone else think that to cut the overseas aid having already raised the allowances for public sector workers for mileage etc is just the lowest of the low? I am a public sector worker and lots of my colleagues would go along with all the necessary measures such as pay freeze etc if same is applied to all sectors, across the board , from the top down.
The decentralisation plans resulted in huge increases in travel claims , the electronic voting machines are still being stored, the likes of Iarnroid Eireann(heavily subsidised by taxpayers) are still spending fortunes telling us they're getting there;my point is that there is a lot of excess fat in the system that could be cut without taking aid from some of the poorest people on the planet.
brianne - we have had this discussion before. its not a pay freeze, you will still get your increment this year. a pay freeze is when your salary stays the same, this is what happens in the private sector (the real world). so please stop calling it a pay freeze , its just a deferring of the new bench marking. the public sector have no idea what a pay freeze is
well decentralisation has been knocked on the head, about time it was a shambles anyway. Ministers, judges etc not receiving their raises, maybe they should take the 3% cut like they are saying to other departments. Seriously though the biggest problem and black hole is the HSE and that needs to be tackled immediately.
They still seem to be saying that capital projects will not be affected but I have heard that for example on the N8 motorway project all weekend and late shift work has been stopped and a good few have been let go........not great news for the construction industry yet again. Seems like they will be delivered but possibly not on time.
Because no one in the Public Sector has ever worked in the Private.
Are these not proposals rather than facts?
are what just proposals ? it has never been suggested that the public sector is to get no increments this year. the suggestion is to postpone benchmarking. that is not a pay freeze so why call it one
Lets not start the whole Private V Public sector debate again. Its been done to death.
