Finance Bill 2017: Committee Stage

It proves the point and takes it to a point of absurdity that the Fine Gael Party and the Government play with the notion of middle income in order to create the illusion that low-paid earners have the same interests as high-paid earners and to create an illusion of common interest between low-paid workers and the top decile of income earners. Do the Minister or his officials yet have the figures that Deputy Pearse Doherty sought about the percentage of income earners earning more than €70,000? Do they have the figures on median earnings in the State?
