Re: How do you feel about Brian Cowen being the highest paid politician in the Wester
am I the only one who finds the intentional mis-spelling on this word offensive on a number of levels
Apologies if I accidentally spelled a word incorrectly - Irish was never my strong subject at school, and perhaps anymore I should call the
Taoiseach our prime minister. I have met a lot of Americans etc who wondered what a "
Taoiseach" was. ( never mind why he was paid more than the leader of the US, UK, Germany, France etc...all much larger, more industrialised countries etc ) Incidentally, I wonder if the p.m. of New Zealand was called some maoiri ( hope I spelt that correctly ! ) word like say Wongawonga, would the rest of the world say the "wongawonga" of New Zealand, or the prime minister of New Zealand ? New Zealand has the same approx population as Ireland, and the rest of the world can speak the native New Zealand language as well as they can speak Irish.
To those who may be offended at the mispelling of a single word, I am personally much more offended at now seeing so much negative equity , stock market and pension decline, loss of business confidence + turnover. Our "
Taoiseach " grew the property bubble over the years, continuously extended the section 23 / 27 tax reliefs, and awarded themselves massive pay + pensions in the process. The mismanagement of our economy, how the country squandered the EC handouts, is a huge lost opportunity.
