This morning.
Frontline Defence News Ireland tweetz:
I am a sailor [with the Irish Naval Service]. I work four weeks at sea, two weeks ashore. When I am ashore, I live on my ship and perform 3 x 24hr duties also. I get €24 per day at sea this month. I will do 10 x 24hr duties at a minimum. I am suffering from burnout…
Meanwhile…
24 euro a day is an extra allowance while at sea. Rate of pay for a fully trained 1st class seaman starting out is 540.55 a week, with increase after 3 years service. Still shit for the work done, but not as bad as 24 euro a day.

ffs. Head down to Haulbowline Island in Cork, check out all the yachts owned by fellas in the Navy. They can’t all be admirals. Google Maps Satellite Link here – https://goo.gl/maps/ufGWW5R3dZGWfYmF7
Maybe a dip in the nip with Leo might cool things down
Aww bless them. Retire on full pension at age 50, plus tax free lump sum. All wages and bonus payments listed before they choose their career. Payscale that only increases with time and job security built in!
As David McWilliams notes; its amazing how few public sector moaners actually leave their awful underpaid jobs and work in the private sector, isn’t it?
