What’s your most controversial opinion? One that you really believe in.

It should be illegal for under 14s to have smartphones. There’s no good reason for them to have one.

"There should be mamdatory community work schemes for anyone on jobseekers allowance over a certain period say 3 months.

I'd make it longer. Plenty of people on jobseekers have difficulty finding work in that short time. I would say a year maybe two to deter the people who are on it for life and working cash in hand.

There’s no shortage of jobs in the service industry at the moment but a lot of people on social welfare don’t want to work because they’ll lose their medical cards and housing benefits.

Reduce the threshold for medical cards so that you can retain it on minimum wage.

We need to stop this bullshit of people never putting in a days work.

Possibly. It could be done on a graded scale add a day per month.

I wouldnt see it as a punishment for being out of work but a way to maintain routine and social interaction for those who struggle when they do lose jobs.

People leaving work to concentrate on health shouldn’t be on jobseekers as you’re not actually seeking a job. Illness benefit should help to cover those situations.

The revolution in gay rights in Ireland is a large part of the reason why the Catholic church is now short of priests. The shamed closeted sons of Ireland are now living normal lives rather than being hidden as celibates in the priesthood allowing their denied sexuality to distort and fester.

This new leftist ideology is the most damaging case of groupthink the world has ever seen.

Not wanting to pay for the accommodation, medical care and lifestyle of some loser that refuses to work all of a sudden makes people "fascist".

I think you need to read a history book.

Last year I paid close to 45k in paye. That money is sorting about 5 people out with their dole for the year.

What do I see from the taxes I pay? These people are not contributing to society. So in practical terms I have adopted 5 random strangers.

I see nothing from my taxes NOTHING. That is not a fair deal for people that work their holes off. Some work 40+ hrs a week and are barely making the rent/mortgage. Meanwhile some burden to the state has 5 kids with 5 welfare recipients and they have a new build handed over to them, free education , free medical care, a weekly wage, fuel allowance, Christmas allowance.

Make it possible to repossess properties in reasonable time where the owners are unable or unwilling to pay the mortgage.

This will make Ireland a lot more likely to attract new mortgage lenders into the market, which will increase competition and drive down mortgage interest rates nearer to the EU average.

Way too much is made of Christmas in this country and the UK.

All the adds for toys, giftsets, perfumes etc land in the day after Halloween and you end up talking or seeing things about Christmas for 1/6th of the year. It all takes away from the day itself as its hard to live up to the expectations that build up brings

Note: it's my favourite time of year as family come together, friends make more of an effort to see each other, people are normally in good form and kids love it.

I've spent 26 years in middle management for an independent company and a multinational and could only dream about figures like that. Haven't even come close to the NI average of £28k so as controversial as it might seem it must be terrible for all those poor people who have to worry about paying 45k in PAYE.

I'm not in any of those roles now as I lost my job last year and am now earning much less.

The salary I was on in the last 2 jobs was the going rate for that position across the board in NI.

I had no idea it was below average until it came up in another thread here last year.

"Anyone earning enough to pay 45k in PAYE has feck all to be whinging about.

That's 2 years wages for some of us.

Wages are higher anyway in the south

A single person paying 45k in paye is on about 100k I think and for some tech companies that's standard

Whats caused you to be in a management role for so long on below average salary?

I'm not in any of those roles now as I lost my job last year and am now earning much less.

The salary I was on in the last 2 jobs was the going rate for that position across the board in NI.

I had no idea it was below average until it came up in another thread here last year. "

Thats nuts to me 26 years at close to minium wage in a management position.

Was it job satisfaction that stopped you ever questioning it?

Tell me mind my business and it might be a bit personal for the forum.

You just don't seem the type to have been taken for a ride for 2 decades
