Role: Government Chairman and Chief Policy Maker

Duties: Be available to answer questions in the Dáil from 2.30 p.m. to 3.15p.m. twice weekly (i.e. Tuesday and Wednesday) .
The Dail only sits for less than 100 days a year – so you will only need to be available for about 66 of those days.

Appearances at motorway openings and various other occasions.

Experience - None Required

Salary – €228,000 Euro a year.

This is a temporary post -  it could last a few months or a few years. The better you do – the longer you will last. (Although Irish voters sometimes may keep you in the Job even if you are no good at it) . Some previous post holders have managed to stay in the job for as long as 11 years. Some – having lost the job even manged to get it back again.
If  you do lose the job – don’t worry – you can still get the Taoiseach’s pension while you get paid your TD’s salary.

Perks - Free use of Mercedes and driver
Long Long holidays.
Free Accommodation in  the Steward’s House in Farmleigh,  Phoenix Park.
Pension -  of upto €100,000 a year after just 3 years in the job

Future Prospects
Continued use of free car and driver.
Previous post holders have even gone on to earn good money doing  speeches and one has even have appeared in TV commercials for the “News of the World”

Requirements :

To be eligible for the job an applicant must be  must a member of Dáil Éireann – so the problem is that limits the possible number of applicants to 166.

Minimum Age:  – 21

The job will be a very challenging one -  the state of Ireland’s finances are a bit dodgy because the last  few people in the job made a bit a of  mess of it.

We are looking for a complete change of approach from the next successful applicant.  Therefore it may be easier to list what Ireland does not want .

We do not want Liars , Cheats or  Idiots.
We do not want any corruption or cronyism.

We do not want people who are more worried about bankers and developers than they are about  the people of Ireland.

We do not want someone who will just  provide lip service without taking any concrete action to solve the problems.

Public speaking ability a bonus.
