WHAT WOULD BE the first thing you would write with a brand new set of Revenue Commissioners pens?
A reader spotted this fancy set recently, apparently given as a corporate gift.
However, a spokesperson from the Revenue Commissioners said they’re not particular pricey, and the ones currently in use cost around €10 a set.
The ones pictured are from a pre-1996 batch, judging by the logo.
Occasionally token gifts of nominal monetary value are exchanged between senior managers of tax administrations on business trips as gestures of goodwill.
The spokesperson noted that the numbers gifted depend on the level of international activity in a given year.
“Last year during the EU Presidency,” they said, “we used approximately 220 sets. In 2012, we used 140.”

I’m ready to talk….does the woman ever stop?! For someone who wanted to escape media attention she seems to court publicity like there’s no tomorrow. Life must be tough living in a $17 million mansion waited upon hand and foot….!!!
the news that green cards are introduced is the most frightening news I’ve heard yet. We cant have a two tier society where those who choose not to have the vaccine are discriminated against…….people should be outraged
@Mags Murphy: in israel
@Mags Murphy: Cén fáth? Bíonn ceart ag tíortha an bóthar a thabhairt d’eachtrannaigh, chun an mhuintir dhúchasach a chosaint. Beidh an ceart ag Éirinn chomh maith agus is rud maith é sin!
Why? Countries have the right to turn foreigners away, in order to protect the native population. Ireland will also have that right, and that’s a good thing!
@Mags Murphy: If its 100% medically related as to not being able to get a vaccination I’m sure a type of green card or exemption can be issued no problem. If it’s a case of tin foilery fantasy against it well then tough t!ts, they made they’re bed hard luck.
@Gavin Mckenna: is choosing to not get a relatively novel vaccine a conspiracy theory, ur logic is scary too, since when have u developed such contempt to ur fellowman
@Gavin Mckenna: @Gavin Mckenna: absolutely. Anti-vaxxers, “patriots” etc are always so quick to talk about their freedom to choose but never want to confront the consequences of that choice, or acknowledge that “freedom” also entails social responsibility.
Let’s see how many stick to their guns if the consequence of their choice is that they cant go on that sun holiday!
Dear Meghan. The Amazon river runs for thousands of miles. At some point it runs through areas of the rain forest that are untouched and barely explored. Because of the porous limestone in these areas the river water leaks through the stone and travels deep into the earth and forms underground pools about a mile below the surface. Over thousands of years, small blind transparent fish have lived and evolved in these pools. These fish have never seen the sun or surface and have never been seen by the human eye. These fish care more about this than I do.
have your say
