yes very true, why are the west not invading ireland, after all the government reduced the dole by 8 euros a week, but allowed the minister, who wasted 53 million on useless electronic voting machines, martin cullen to get a fat pension.
Martin Cullen will receive a severance payment of nearly €80,000 (per today's Irish Independent):

PLUS a salary of nearly €200,000 for the remainder of 2010, and nearly 100K for 2011;

PLUS a combined TD and Minister pension of €106,000 FOR LIFE! (per Vincent Brown last night)

MC has only been a TD since 1987.
