I completely oppose SARP as it is a tax break for a small number of well paid corporate executives and illustrates the Government's approach. The Government cannot give pay equality to gardaí, teachers and low paid public sector workers but it can dole out tax breaks to some of the most well paid people in this country. The scheme is completely odious and the fact that the Government seeks to extend it is illustrative of the nature of the budget.
