Yes, a serious topic. The report on the sale of state assets by Colm McCarthy. But its not the sales I'm angry about. Its the wages of the CEO's. Despite having taken 'pay cuts' they then were awarded 'other payments' and pension payments far in excess of the paycuts. So in actual fact, their total remuneration has gone up!

Is this country nuts or what?! Bloated public sector, over paid CEO's in the semi-state sector and even certain sectors of the public service whining about having to pay for their pensions!
I've taken a pay cut. Ya, sure I only work part-time in a bar but you know what would happen me if I threatened to go on strike?
Before strikes get back on the agenda, the government should introduce legislation ensuring essential services are not affected. That means ESB workers, nurses, gas workers would come under a similar umbrella to the gardai and army - prohibed from going on strike. I'm sick of them holding the country to ransom.
