They are gonna impose a cap of €250,000 on the Pres - how much is she meant to on!!!! If you ask me the max should be €80,000 considering all the perks included- house, car, garda driver, expenses etc. Guaranteed for 7 years and nice pension too no doubt. Not to mention all the sporting events and parties where all she has to to do is shake a few hands. The job should be taken for the honour of holding the role primarily

If i'm totally honest, i'd get rid of the role altogether. Its largely ceremonial anyhow and the constitution could be amended and any powers necessary to be retained given to a panel of top judges (not Louis Walsh though). It would free up a load of gardai to do their real job too

I'd also get rid of the Seanad and reduce TD's nos from 166 to 100, but thats another day's work!

What say the people?

This is one and the same President who is reported as having used a government jet (*) to destinations withinn the country on at least 9 occasions -despite having the permanent use of two cars and garda drivers. The latest trip was last week to Belfast ( most trips are to N Ir ..surprise ,surprise ) on the day before she emoted to the Irish people that she understood their distress.Is this a spectacular Grade 1 hypocrite or what ?
Time the Irish people wised up and abolished this farcical office and the would-be royal oracles who have come to monopolise it .
Little wonder we're the laughing stock of the world.

(*) Incredibly it seems we have two of them .

she a false auld yoke as well.sneaked in like a magpie under berties covert operation to screw albert reynolds.she portrays ireland in the worst possible light.i detest her and she takes away from my enjoyment of sporting occasions when she appears with her false smile and expensive clothes(no matter what she wore it wouldnt make her any better) paid for by the tax payer.i agree it would be a lovely job for someone who would do it for the honour of it(michael d?).you can take it i dont like her!!

A classmate from college was tapping one of her daughters many moons ago; said daughter wasn't exactly shy about having the state driver busted out to ferry her across town to lectures [and indeed, to her first job, as the papers highlighted a few years ago].

Yer man was a regular up in the Aras for who could only be described as "palatial bashes"; the stories would make Marie-Antoinette blush.
