New increase

ANYBODY..Gardaí have seized a quantity of illicit alcohol, following a search of an apartment in Cork.

The seizure is part of an investigation which also involves the Revenue Commissioners, the Food Safety Authority and the Health Service Executive.

No arrests have been made as part of this morning's operation, but gardaí believe the alcohol was being distilled and sold to homeless people in the city.

During the search, alcohol, bottles, packaging and a quantity of cash were seized.

The alcohol will be analysed. It is believed to be of a high strength.

Gardaí suspect that up to 240 litres of alcohol were being distilled per week.

The alcohol was being sold for around €10 per bottle to people who were sleeping rough in the city.

I had someone in the car from the merchants quay project and they've seen a huge spike in Easters overdosing on hand sanitizer!

There's quite a few of them...you're right.......not the ones who masquerade as Economists though.

The dismal science. Created to give Astrology a bad name.

Apparently, there are more of them than there are climatologists though.

Talk on the local radio station last week of a taxi driver on a 1400 Euro a week  contract school run.
He’s not going to starve when the recession hits.
That’s worth over 52k a year for the next 5 years.
Plenty of that work out there but most of ye won’t do it.

School runs only operate for 186 days, so your 1400 is only approx 36000, not your 52 a year calculated

[Jack Meoff]

1400 a week which is 280 a day.
280 a day by 183 days in the school year is 51,250

Do you need a big expensive van or can a saloon driver get those rates?I dunno if I could listen to someone elses kids 5 days a week.

[dalymount]

I could. I'd even buy a big expensive van if I thought I could get that kind of a contract. If I did get a contract like that, it would be the deciding factor as to wether I stay in the game or not

[The Liffey Lip]

You're only with them for a half hour to an hour there and back. The School Bus companies pay their drivers well for the work so there must be something in it.
