Irish Minister Wants To Dock Striking Nurses Pay, Yet There Is No Limit On Spending For Migrants and Foreign Aid!

Tánaiste Simon Coveney has confirmed that the Government is taking legal advice as to how sanctions may be used against striking nurses, including docking their pay. Mr Coveney said the Government does not want to be at odds with nurses but called on unions to live up to their part of the national pay agreement. “They are great people, doing very difficult work, often in very pressurised circumstances. We want to be working with nurses, with the INMO and with the psychiatric nurses to build a better health service that can attract many young people into this profession,” he said. “What the Government has said is that we are taking legal advice in regard to the options that are available to us, consistent with the pay agreement that everybody signed up to with their eyes open," he told the Dáil. There is a responsibility on the Government to deliver on that, and that involves hundreds of millions of euro of extra pay across the public sector. There is also a

Women With Four or More Kids Exempted From Tax For Life – Hungary Secures Its Future!

HUNGARY’S GOVERNMENT IS greatly increasing financial aid and subsidies for families with several children, the country’s prime minister said yesterday. The measures announced by Viktor Orban during his “state of the nation” speech are meant to encourage women to have more children and reverse Hungary’s population decline. The benefits include a lifetime personal income-tax exemption for women who give birth and raise at least four children; a subsidy of 2.5 million forints (€7,817) towards the purchase a seven-seat vehicle for families with three or more children; and a low-interest loan of 10 million forints (€31,271) for women under age 40 who are marrying for the first time. Orban, who has made “zero tolerance” for immigration his main theme in the past four years and was elected to a third consecutive term last April, said the initiative is meant to “ensure the survival of the Hungarian nation”. “This is the Hungarians’ answer, not imm

359 Christian Martyrs Murdered by Islam, Insulted & Called “Easter Worshippers” By MSM & Politicians

CCTV footage has energed of one of the suicide bombers at Katuwapitiya Church. Islamic State has said it was responsible for the attacks, which targeted churches and high-end hotels, although it has not provided direct evidence of its involvement. Prominent US Democrats deliberately avoided using the word “Christian” when condemning bombings of churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday as part of a policy to undermine Christian faith in the US. The eight bomb attacks in Sri Lanka, which killed 359 people on Easter Sunday, sparked worldwide condemnation. But the way some US politicians expressed their condolences sparked a major outcry among conservative Americans. Former President Barack Obama and the former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, were blasted for using the term “Easter worshipers” instead of “Christians” when referring to the victims of the attacks.
