It's not an ideal Ireland which makes me think that bonuses for no-one is fairer.(20-01-2022, 04:41 PM)ari101 Wrote: Agreed, Gardaí would be another big group with a strong claim.Pat Kenny interviewed this morning a garda spokesman (i believe) who was defending their cause for the bonus: we've been dealing with all the anti vax / restrictions demonstrations, we've been spat at, we've done this and that. And PK answered "isnt't this part of your job as a garda?"
Not that the health care workers don't deserve it, but I think it will cause more aggravation than anything.
There's going to be murder about this bonus, everyone wants a chunk of it.
