Fw: A cent(s) for the revolution.

[Papa C.]

From 'Ireland'.

...................was going through the finances this morning , to see if we can continue to keep Mrs I in the style wha' she has become accustomed to (!) when one of the grandkids (bless him!) showed me a file which he had saved from a website he was browsing - by mistake , as it turned out : he had expected to be viewing a different site .

He told me he saved it in 'Favourires' 'cause "it had a load of those names wha' yer always givin' out 'bout , granda " ! So I clicked on it and it opened on the screen - and it made for interesting reading ! It was a list of all 166 members of Leinster House , showing their 'expenses' for 2005 . The info was only recently handed over under a 'Freedom Of Information' order to some fella who had demanded that info , fair play to him !

I took note of the 'expenses' pocketed last year by the FF , FG , Labour and PD Leinster House members for this area as I intend to write a letter to the editor of both local 'papers here about those political leeches . Plus , I wanna throw it in their faces when I see them on the street soon , looking for votes , as there's a State election coming up next June or July .

Anyways....
............................ I then turned me attention to the PSF members in Leinster House . Even more interesting ! As well as a salary of €2013 a week , Aengus O Snodaigh received €618 a week in 'expenses' . That's €2631 every week !
Jack Crowe put €576 'expenses' in his pocket each week , as well as his €2013 salary - €2589 a week .
Arthur Morgan got €1041 a week in 'expenses' , plus his salary of €2013 . That's €3054 every week .
Caoimhghin O Caolain put in for , and received , €1142 a week in expenses on top of his salary - €3155 a week !
Marty Ferris pocketed €1319 a week in 'expenses' , and shoved it in to his pocket on top of his salary - a total of €3332 every week .

I'd say those five lads have such a lavish lifestyle by now that they can't afford to start the revolution just yet : 'course neither can any of the other political leeches in that place , but the difference is that THEY did'nt state it as their intention to "shake the very foundations of the State" when they went into Leinster House . The Provies did .

Any foundations rattling out yer way , buddy .... ?

Slan Anois !

Ireland .

I taught SF were supposed to be on an average mans wages and everything else goes back into the party???

This came up on another forum a while back,ill post the reply a SF member gave>


"Across Ireland paid Sinn Féin elected representatives donate a considerable proportion of their salaries to fund party growth. Within the Assembly team every Sinn Féin MLA is paid exactly the same salary based on the average industrial wage. Our MLA's return at least 40% of their salary to fund party growth. This has generated over £300,000 in the north to deliver top quality constituency services, to fund party growth and build the agenda for Irish reunification.

"This commitment to the development of Sinn Féin from elected representatives is unique in Irish politics and is a demonstration of the commitment of all our representatives."

The TDs in the 26 counties do the same, they are paid the same salary based on the average industrial wage. But go ahead, twist that to suits your own narrow agenda too.

That's quite interesting I've never heard it before. What is an average man's wage though?

40% of over €2,000 a week leaves quite a lot of money to play with... Anyways wouldn't it be a lot more productive to smash the state and distribute the wealth instead of being paid by the state to keep it in power and turning money over to the same bourgeois party? They are doing this in the north too.

With the support Sinn Fein have they could prolly start a Socialist Revolution tomorrow but they don't seem concerned with that type of Shenanigans anymore.
