UK, Ireland /
Poland continues to milk Ireland dry. [129]
On reading that financial report released the other day on the grim uncertain economic picture I saw where the Irish government(Fianna Fail) had bought 3.5 million tons of carbon from. Now, it took searching elsewhere but I eventually learned that the cost of this cloud was fifteen million euro. They intend to buy about three times more for about fifty million euro.
There is a prize for whoever guesses who got paid the fifty large. OK the suspense is too much, it was of course, the Polish government. Forget the fact that as a coal burning nation they pollute way more than Ireland that makes no difference. Now, not content with Ireland supporting 50,000 of their citizens with social welfare(204 euro a week), supporting thousands of Polish children who never set foot in Ireland by means of child allowance, and by paying some 8,000 Polish families rent so they can reside in Ireland subsidised by the Irish taxpayer. Now they are siphoning off some 50 million euro more of the taxpayers hard earned cash.
Now, at the time of this generous payment, the government had another brainwave.
The planned national cervical cancer vaccination programme for around 75,000 young girls, due to start next year, has been scrapped by the Health Minister Mary Harney due to Budget cuts.
The vaccine was to be offered to all 12-year-old girls in primary schools from next September, at an estimated cost of under €10m.rte.ie/news/2008/1104/vaccine.html
Now, heres the bit that takes the biscuit, as some of you may know, Dell left Ireland and relocated to Poland. According to an iol report the Dell move out of Limerick to Lodz in Poland included our generous €50million, €52.7million aid package from the Polish Government. The European Commission will now decide whether that sweetner breaches EU state aid rules.
You couldnt make this shyte up, you really couldnt.
Edit: Heres the link thingy I would have been hounded for.
Put this in Ireland and the UK please mods.
Without doubt, [the summot] ended with our success,” said President Lech KaczyĆski.
It most certainly did, Lech. It most certainly did. Anyone got the number for the rape crisis centre? The Irish nation has just been ass raped.
