Dr. Donal de Buitléir:

One does not necessarily have to have personal experience of a problem in order to come up with sensible ways of dealing with it. Members of my extended family, for example, have been on low pay. I have not personally experienced low pay because I got the opportunity to get an education, I worked hard and was able to get well-paid employment throughout my life but we all know people who are in low-pay sectors.
