The six women and five men are being held at various stations in Limerick, Cork and Clare.

GARDAÍ IN LIMERICK have said that 11 people have been arrested as part of an investigation into alleged sexual exploitation of children.

    But will purveyors of other Carcinogens pay more? I’m sure Mr Noonan will ignore Hep sufferers: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are viruses that cause acute or chronic liver disease. They are listed in the report as “known human carcinogens” because studies in humans show that chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections cause liver cancer. Approximately one million United States residents are chronically infected with HBV, which primarily is transmitted through sexual contact (50%) and intravenous drug use (15%).

    I hate what has happened. I feel sorry for people coming out of school. Go to college? Can’t afford fees. Get a job. Is none. Maybe a part time job. Sure how do you save to go to college on a part time wage?

    In NY where I work we use agency and Per Diem (bank nurses). It is cheaper as they don’t get benefits or pension contribution. Great for my budget but these group work when they want not when I need them. And nary a one is available when it comes to the holiday season. It causes morale issues with regular staff who are paid less and have little choice about schedules.

    I see that already where I work , the full time staff have little or no choice when it comes to Christmas but the permanent but cover staff refuse to work it as they feel they don’t have to , however they are the first to complain about not getting ti work every Sunday and Bank holiday . It has caused serious problems amongst staff . Wont work in the long term.

    You should take the percentage of people who don’t/have never smoked and get cancer versus the number of smokers who get cancer. Or you could engage your brain before you comment.

    Why not bring in “free” everything? How many jobs will be lost raising the €40,000,000 to pay for “free” under 5 doctors visits? I’d guess about 4,000.

    I just asked a simple question. I have read a good few of the budget documents abduction could see no detail on it. as this article is aimed at going into more detail on the budget, i thought it was the appropriate place to ask the question.

    Making cigarettes illegal or having any drug illegal for that matter is not a good idea. While this may seem counter-intuitive, it makes sense.

    Crimes rates from a black market would increase and thus violence. Stress would be put on Gardai, courts and the justice system and also cost a fortune. Products would be adulterated and worse for your health. People would still end up in hospitals which would cost the government a fortune (taxing such products is what’s paying these bills currently).
    Not to mention illegality prevents researchings developing cures and treatments due to harsh licensing of studying illegal substances.
    All on top of making criminals of otherwise law abiding people AND making access to their treatment more difficult!
