This is shocking. How can this Taoiseach and Minister for Finance justify the 70% increase in the salary of the Chairperson of the NAMA Board, for example.

This is a kick in the teeth for front line workers ... at a time when salaries of nurses, schoolteachers and Gardaí and other hardworking public servants are being cut. Is their work not at least as important as NAMA? Are special needs assistants in St. Anthony’s School not as important as Nama?

The Board were only appointed in mid-December and the Government has increased their salaries by up to 70% already. another example of this government looking after their political cronies ...
