Over 14 years, wage growth in the private sector has outpaced the public sector by 20-25 percentage points Public sector earnings have barely kept pace with inflation since 2011 (first year of available data)

The main article in this week’s @limerickpost yet again paints a picture of a shockingly dysfunctional workplace in @LimerickCouncil The Exec and @Mayor_Limerick need to enforce the Code of Conduct for Councillors. Dignity at work is a basic right.

SIPTU has a clear message for public servants scheduled to work from home on Wednesday. Don't do it. Don't open your laptop. Don't check your emails. Don't teach online. Don't answer your phone. A strike only works when the work stops. Remote work is work. #UnionStrike

“teacher-bashing has become so normalised in society...the loudest criticism often comes from those who have little understanding of what the job entails. If some of our harshest critics spent 24 hours walking in a teacher's shoes, their perception of the profession would change”

It remains the case that escooters make up a small fraction of road fatalities, incl deaths of children The overwhelming majority of road fatalities are homicides caused by collisions involving cars & large motor vehicles (e.g. lorries) The media coverage doesn't reflect this

‘Escooters are more dangerous than knives or guns' Is a line I just heard on our national broadcaster

What's the difference between blaming TikTok on people driving the wrong way along a motorway and the Indo doing sob story stuff for people caught speeding?
