March 18th .Will we have to get our meters reset .Government voted for a one off bank holiday so how do taxi drivers benifit without the meter reset ?
-
Yay, another day off.
-
The (non front line )HSE staff who stroked an early vaccine will get a grand for their ingenuity ---while all the Drivers who did their best for the frontline get F/A with our German Masters giving away 20% of the earnings of those who did the work-- -just proves that our service where deemed essential at the time is now non essential so screw you on your Bank Holiday too !
-
The meter will need to be reset sometime this year as we now have St Bridgets Day as a Bank holiday .
-
So will Cleaners in hospitals or Nursing homes get the Grand or is it only medical staff .Dont think they thought this through .Unions will be up in arms .Seems like only front line workers who worked in covid infected areas are to get the Coin .WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGEATHER ?
-
Meanwhile, a €1,000 bonus for frontline healthcare workers was also agreed by ministers this morning.
The payment will be made to nurses, doctors, paramedics, nursing home staff or anyone who received a vaccine during the frontline worker cohort.
Independant report !

Jan 13 th 2021 ---Irish Times
St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin has defended giving the Covid-19 vaccine to non-frontline staff who were not officially due to receive it until later in the Government’s immunisation plan.
It was responding to claims made by intensive care (ICU) staff to The Irish Times about senior staff members who are not treating patients being given the vaccine last week ahead of some frontline workers.
One member of ICU staff said some senior staff were vaccinated during the first day of immunisation intended for frontline workers. Later that day, it is alleged, a number of ICU staff were refused the vaccine, though all received it later in the week.

The head of the HSE has said that incidents where there have been breaches to the vaccine queue are “frustrating” and “annoying”.
Paul Reid said that incidents of people skipping the queue to get a vaccine “breaches” the basis of what the programme is about.
He said that the vaccination programme is based on a high level of trust and that the vast majority of the public are waiting their turn.
Mr Reid said that it was “completely wrong” for someone to be vaccinated when they are not exposed to a healthcare setting.
He added that some people working in hospitals who were not in the direct frontline had to be vaccinated to protect hospital settings.
Addressing potential abuses of the internal portal for HSE workers to register for a vaccine, Mr Reid said it was an abuse of trust and not a failing of the portal.
He said that the HSE has strengthened the validation process to make sure legitimate people are getting the jab.
Recent incidents around people outside of the current vaccine priority cohort being vaccinated has caused anger in some parts.
The incident caused great upset among workers who have been treating Covid-19 patients for months during the pandemic, the ICU staff member said.
A spokeswoman for the hospital said the HSE had issued an allocation of doses based on a headcount of staff and that frontline workers were given priority.
“Staff, including the CEO, who in the course of their duties may be on wards or in direct contact with patients and staff are then offered the vaccine, followed by all other staff who in a surge may be redeployed to support frontline staff,” she said.

The Grand is to be distributed along the lines of the vaccine distribution so if you managed to jump the Q you will be rewarded with a Grand for your endeavours !

Where is all the Money going to come from .Look at the the American Stock Market its correcting by -10% That means the Big Tech expect to make less Profits or worse for Ireland Inc with their Share Price crashing Facebook ,Google,Big Pharms Microsoft ,Apple decide to buy back their own stock or buy other companies that they think are cheap .Microsoft just bought some Game maker for 70 Billion .The bottom line is some of the Big Corporations we depend on for most of our tax might not have any profits on paper to pay tax on .You need to listen with your eyes Paggo or Mc Grath the money men didnt announce this Great Giveaway .Its a Political stunt that is going to backfire .
-
Just thinking about the Fucking Madness that happened today .Employers now have to pay an extra Holiday 18th this year that includes the Government/Civil Service that will cost a few 100 million then another Bank Holiday for ever more on St Bridgets Day more Millions the Government have to pay out .Cunts trying to buy an election .
-
Now you have it ::fight
-
In relation to the €1,000 bonus announced yesterday for public healthcare workers who were on the frontline in the fight against Covid, the Taoiseach said the date for payment has yet to be worked out, and a panel will be set up to decide who gets the payment.
-
So Leo says .Only if you wore a Gown and a Mask FULL TIME in an environment where Covid was rampant in a Clinical setting before there was a vaccine and employed by the HSE .This Bonus will be the biggest mistake made by this government during Covid .more people will feel cheated if they dont get it and Knowing FF/Fg they might decide to give it to everybody in Hospitals or Nursing Homes then Gards and Army will want it Final bill could be over a Billion .Self employed PRSI contributions will at least double to help pay for this .Any Group of Drunks in a Roddy Doyle Novel could of told the government this was a stupid fucking idea .Like I said it wasent announced by either of the Money Ministers .Its a Political stunt that will back fire Shinners and every opposition TD will call for all healthcare workers to get it .

So its obvious then that any driver who works March 18th wont have the Bank Holiday tariff fare on their meter.
What to do ?????

We are not due a fare review before then but if some Rep body wanted to contact the Taxithingey Im sure they would issue a new update for the meter cost about 60 euro plus a reseal another 60+ euro then later in the year when the fare review reports they could issue another update with new fare and St Bridgets Day bank holiday included .

Did Mt Taxi not lobby on behalf of themselves to have that shelved .

Judging by the generous supports that continue to be paid to taximen / taxi drivers I'd imagine the case for a significant minimum PRSI contribution from the self-employed is well under consideration. I doubt there's a taximan in the country that hasn't recouped every cent he's ever paid in Income Tax, PRSI and USC many times over during the COVID '19 anall pandemic... with the possible exception of those on the State Pension.
To be fair to Dr. Leo, he looked after us very well... until Mehaul came along with his cuts.
Bring back Dr. Leo. Dr. Leo was great so he was...

I remember Martin Scullion and her had a good stroke going on .She would throw bales of Jacks Rolls over the wall onto the Dead Canal in Rialto and Martin would sell them door to door in the Flats to get the Porter money and then meet her after work .They made a lovely couple matching Swallow Tattoos in their hands .The Rat would of liked her .First woman to win both the Darts and the Pool Competition in the same year won two turkeys .Think she sold one of them to Billy the Bastard for £10 He then had a draw for it .Put your name on a pound note and it was drawn out of the tombola in the pub think he made about £8 out of it and his sister won the Turkey .Might of been a fix save him buying the sister a Christmas Present .

Did you hear the Minister for Finance defending his decision to sell the State's shares in AIB yesterday, erm. Has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life... I'm not making this up, he genuinely said it... the State shouldn't cawwy the wisk associtaed with owning banks, that should be up to the pwivate sector. Obviously, what he meant was the State shouldnt accrue any reward for cawwying the wisk cweated by bankers.
You couldn't make it up but I guess it's good for the countwy and the childwen of the countwy.

so in other words, anyone who works Mar 18th will be working for a "normal" days fare.

Didnt take long .Busmens Union are to look for the Grand for drivers who worked through the pandemic and a motion has been tabled for industrial action if they do not get it . Doubt they will be the only ones that might vote for strike action if they dont get the Bobo .

You win Occi .The fucking stupidest post ever posted ,Or did you really post this or was it a heard of Monkies messing with Typewriters .You me and others were prevented from working then requested not to work as the virus needed to be constrained .A lot of self employed workers and their families got 350 or less to live on and pay mortgages while others in Civil or Public services got to work from home on full wages and were unaffected financially by the Lockdowns .Nurses Doctors Garda done their Jobs thats what they signed up for Got paid overtime and other allowances same with shopkeepers their jobs stayed open we were requested not to work or constrained as other parts of the economy we relied on were closed down .The Grand you are offered is to help you get back on the road so you can resume earning and pay taxes such as VAT on your Fuel ,Maintainance,Car then pay PRSI and Income tax on your earnings .You are getting nothing for nothing .Not the next budget but the one after that You can be sure tax rates will increase through cuts in allowances Your PRSI contribution will increase and younger lads than Me will see the time they need to work before they get a Pension pushed out a few years .Provided Mr Vladamir Putin dosent march all over us the Germans will do German Stuff and the Fucking Idiot Irish Government who signed up for the Fiscal Treaty will be forced to repay all our borrowings .Occi the few Coins you get over the next few weeks will be the last you ever recieve from the Irish State .A lot of people seem to have lost focus watching the Smiley Youngone off of Virgin Media giving you the Death Scores or the Guitar Playing Doctor telling you to needle up .Before the Great Covid this country was border line insolvent .Now with House Prices more expensive than pre Boom and bust Brexit and the Shinner Goverment (They wont form a government wont get anybody to go in with them )Add in all the borrowed coin to pay PUP and Billions in not needed subsidies to multi billion earning Companies .You will be required to pay back many multiples of what you think was free sitting at home coin from the State .

While I appreciate the sentiment behind your decision, I question the logic Octy. The meagre supports offered to the working man are but the crumbs off the table of big business with big brown envelope power. Would you consider taking the grand and giving it to St. Francis Hospice? Left in the hands of Government it'll just be used to further line the pockets of already filthy rich scum.

As a Taximan I'll be accepting it.

I don't think that it is unreasonable to take government support money in difficult economic times, or if one has a real fear of the pox for oneself, or one's family, however gardai looking for bravery money is beyond the pale. When I continued to work I had only self interest/survival at heart.

It's a lot easier Bob to do a bit of soul searching with cash in the back pocket. Look at the likes of celebrity charity muggers like Bill Gates, Bono, Geldof, who don't like paying tax, but want TV exposure for their so-called charity work.
It's the first time in recent history that taximen got a bail-out. E&OE.
