They might as well have voted FF. I suppose they can appreciate that now? Anyways, their next batch of rote learners are chomping at the bit already GM, to regurgitate their vast knowledge on all things academic. THAT'S WORTH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, HUH? Lots and lots of very BRIGHT, AUTOMATONS...Ahem INDIVIDUALS to be unleashed on a very deserving Republic? Oh Happy Days...They are all VERY INTELLIGENT you know? <br /><br />Ah yes they dream of downing a vat of beer and staggering down Grafton Street, filling the gutter with their remaining regurgitatings - after the exams - don't you know?<br /> <br />As for the paragons of national educational prowess GM? Lackeys, in a game of legal nastiness whereby the atmosphere (all atmosphere, nothing technically illegal mind) is created by those highter up and these geniuses (THEY ARE ALL VERY INTELLIGENT, IRISH GENIUSES, EVERYONE OF THEM!)inculcate the next cohort to fill the next que at the labour, airport or traffic jam. <br />They're only doing their job mind, all above board, but oh so very Irish(emmm,like greasy squid).<br /><br />Maybe the spalpeens on the tear down Grafton Street bringing thither emesis, possibly, just possibly, down deep, know and understand how thoroughly rotten this country is.

"<br /><br />If that's accurate, it's obscene. Another enormous milch cow fed by all and enjoyed by a few. Surely the budget itself tells the story: Department of Education? No; a money laundering operation: a corrupt pension fund using schools as a front for laundering tax revenues.<br /><br />thomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-11723538424724915802012-04-11T13:31:02.728+01:002012-04-11T13:31:02.728+01:00Where do the TUI get their money from?

Just pondering this as I know for a fact that at their annual conference last year, teachers brought husbands/wives and children down to a hotel in Clare for 4 nights, full board, all paid for by the TUI???? This year, they are doing the same in Wexford. I seriously doubt that teachers would up sticks and head off for 4 days if it was comign out of their own pockets. Expenses money is paid too I know. Stories are that one chairperson decided to keep an eye on costs, as she didn't want a public investigation into TUI finances for fear that they may become another FAS..interesting???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-17240153425306522822012-04-11T11:01:49.822+01:002012-04-11T11:01:49.822+01:00The average for a UK univiersty lecturer with a Do...The average for a UK univiersty lecturer with a Doctorate and a record of published research is about £35K. per year.
