Ryan Tubridy’s statement says this is a matter for RTE. But surely for the last number of years he saw himself in top-10 best paid publicly released showing a figure below what he was actually paid. Did it dawn on him to point out that it should be corrected for transparency?

If the shortfall is met that would bring HSE's total budget for 2023 to €25 billion, or more than a quarter of all spending in the state. You have to ask yourself at what point do you look for even a small amount of efficiencies before increasing it further?
The HSE is heading for a “mindblowing” deficit of up to €1.5 billion by the end of this year, TDs have been told

The streets of Dublin are absolutely filthy. I saw a few power hoses out early this morning when I was in town but it isn’t working. The stains aren’t going and the surfaces look terrible. Is it the quality of them as well as people treating the place disgracefully.
Thursday, the dreaded day in the office because it means being back in the city centre. Exiting one of the capitals main train stations you are greeted by a waft of piss and your expectations are set for the day.

Xmas if you’re stuck on €350 a week and facing stress and bills is unlikely to be an easy time for some people this year. It is ridiculous that we’re carrying on like it can be normal. There will be so many people under financial pressure.
