Surfing the wave is great — just don’t forget the inevitable crash

What doesn’t make sense, as we know from our own crash, ultimately implodes, writes Gerard Howlin.

IT IS strange what shakes the world. Joining the queue to shake down the exchequer is the Irish Medical Organisation. It wants restitution of a “living-out” allowance to cover doctors on call; accommodation is not provided. Lots of people are on call in jobs that do not provide accommodation. A “living-out” allowance doesn’t arise.

But if the IMO, led by Dr John Duddy, gets its way, then you will have to pay for what you have no hope of ever having yourself.
