If you are diagnosed with something terminal do you still have to pay for your treatment if you didn't have a medical card ?

-- YES one does , --- Alas, we all have something terminal ,--- tis called LIFE !!
If there is one thing positive to be said for death, it is that after your life has concluded, the bastards can't shag or tax you anymore. In the meantime, the young, the poor, the unemployed, the old and the sick will just have to grin and bear it, and pray to God that Fianna Fail don't run show in the hereafter.
One small crumb of consolation........no fat arse banker, developer or politician would ever fit through the eye of a needle....but maybe these windbags could be deflated if a few needles were stuck in them.
preferrably 9mm needles
Drop One Keep One To Glory
The situation needs reform to start asap
We have the highest paid public sector in Europe. Tourism has sustained mutilation as we are globally known to be an overpriced nation, on the same levels as denmark and even norway appartantly.
50% of the workers here dont pay tax. even if a worker only earns 15k, they can at least contribute a few hundred per annum.
Teachers are a joke, alot are irresonsible money grabbers.
The average graduate starting in the private secor gets 24k per annum
The graduate teacher gets 36k, less hours and 16 weeks paid holidays and their performance isnt even assessed by strict bench-marking etc. Theres tons of hidden loopholes in even tax and legal situation in this country. have availed of many myself. can run cash easily through 4 tiny comanies instead of 1 big one and save tens of thousands. ajoke the amount of money the exchequer loses out on. no point as such in me funding a minority of chancers though who have got the majority of the population in a sticky situation because of mismanagment, a completley useless and childish group of opposion parties acting the bollox and a chronic lack of accountability in many departments and smaller agencies also
I see my nephews fucking about, bored out of their minds with nothing to do. A generation of young people with nothing to look forward to, for the time being anyway. theres gona be some big surge in crime and black marketing..
Brian Clown says everything is on the table yet the following sacred cows are never mentioned
(1) Taxing horse breeding. If the breeders say they will pull out let them they can fuck off as they ar'nt contributing anything.
(2) Raise the corporation tax rate from 12.5% to 14% we would still have the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe, bar maybe Malta on one or two of the Baltic states.
I realise that we need a low corporation tax to keep and attract big business, but another 1.5% is not going to be a disincentive.
The only thing on that is on the table is taxing the workers and the poor
