Purple, For the life of me I cannot see how the unions were responsible for staff overpayments and again I see no input to the failure of the infamous PPARS system being attributed to any union. It's the management, stupid! Don't ignore the obvious, if it looks like cancer, it is cancer; it's not a nosebleed!. . . . Yet another example of how change and the avoidance of waste are stymied by the bloodsucking Unions as the first thing they do is stuck out their grubb, greedy paws for more money.
Let's put this is perspective
There were 1,144 overpayments totalling €2.4m, of which 34 ranged from €10,000 to €30,000. Seven ranged from €30,000 to €200,000.
How many employees does the HSE actually have?
Over what period were these overpayments made? One, at least, was for 10 years?
What percentage of the total payroll bill over those 10(?) years is €2.4m?
I cannot see why the Trade Unions are being blamed for this.
In another case of poor control of public money, an employee who resigned from a permanent health service job in October 2008 was overpaid €46,373 because notice of her departure was not made to the payroll department until the following June.
Did those employees not report it? Is this not the equivalent of theft? If I get paid €1,100 a month, instead of €1,050, I might not notice it. But if I switch to part-time and my salary remains the same, I would notice it. If I quit my job, and my employer continues paying me, I would let my employer know.

In the same issue of the Indo ( 6/2/2015) was a far more disturbing audit fallout - the headline read " Revenue move on almost 5,000 businesses ".
The Revenue issued a record number of attachment orders to 4,935 businesses in 2014 targeting a staggering €161,000,000.
The results of the HSE audit were disturbing but my God this is in a complete different universe !
I'm not blaming the Trade Unions for this. I'm saying that they are a block to improving the structures and systems that lead to these issues and the many more like them that lead to massive waste and inefficiencies. They are certainly not the only obstacle but they are certainly part of the problem. Inefficient and ineffectual management is also a large part of the problem.Purple, For the life of me I cannot see how the unions were responsible for staff overpayments and again I see no input to the failure of the infamous PPARS system being attributed to any union.

I'm just stopping short of sending you a rebouncing punchbag with "Trades Unions" written on the side.
As you didn't read my post you don't know what point I made. If you did read my post you would see that I made a different point.+ 1 , to blame Trade Unions for this is plainly ridiculous & purely a misplaced unthinking knee jerk reaction hinting at a degree of myopia and obsession .

Newsflash!!!!! Brendan . . . try and look benignly at any trades union reference here . . . Déise was being ironic . . . with Purple, of course and he saved me the trouble . . . and I know you are probably getting somewhat confused that Purple is even agreeing with some of what I say.To be fair to Deiseblue I could not see why you brought the Trade Unions into this, except to somehow blame them for the payroll issue.
I have reread you post, but I don't really know what other point you are making.

OK, I'm surprised that you can't, even with my later posts explaining it again but if you can't see it you can't see it.To be fair to Deiseblue I could not see why you brought the Trade Unions into this, except to somehow blame them for the payroll issue.

I often agree with you but I don't see where Déise was being ironic. Vitriolic maybe, but not ironic.Newsflash!!!!! Brendan . . . try and look benignly at any trades union reference here . . .
