Ministers new €16,000 pay rise is obscene

It’s a week since I set this up, we have eleven and a half thousand signatures, the first few days climbed at incredible speed but the truth is not enough of us care, politicians can do what they like when it comes to their wages without any repercussions
Not one of the three made a statement on their pay rise
Not one of the seventy two that voted even tried to justify why they felt it was the right thing to do in a time of national financial crisis
To the people that have signed and shared, thanks 👍

Where are Ministers Pippa Hackett, Hildegarde Naughton and Jack Chambers ???
Where are the SEVENTY TWO ministers that voted for it???
If there was a school opening or a new road or a tree being planted they would be out with their “delighted to announce” photo opportunity
Here’s how it works, they make decisions knowing they will get away with it, yes there will be outrage and complete uproar for a few days but it will die down and they may even make a token gesture (in this case “gifting” a third of the obscene payment meanwhile a lot of us think “ah shur, nothing we can do”
But we can do something, we can stay angry and outraged at their behaviour and we can commit to telling them we want change and hold them accountable for voting “Tá” when the right thing to do is vote “Níl”
I’m not letting this go
if like me you have had enough of the same old same old please sign this petition, if you’ve already signed it, thanks, please share it

We deserve more
