		<description>[...] DublinOpinion.com carried out an analysis in 2007 (based on the 2006 census), concluding that the majority were working-class 60-40 (excluding builders and contractors), falling to 59-41 when they were included. A study by Lansdowne in 2004/4, based on the 2002 Census, concluded it was around 53% working-class and 47% middle-upper class.   __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

The types of positions people hold within the workplace, the type of work they do, the amount of power and influence they have over their working environment, their conditions of employment and levels of education, all challenge the simple view of a large middle class.

It shows quite clearly that there is not a large middle class in Ireland, but a large working class, which is why you haven’t heard from them, given that An Bord Snip is out to get them. When you look closely, you see the middle class just doesn’t exist. [...]</description>
