Much of the savings in administration come from the Croke Park agreement, etc. One of the points my party has always laboured is the differential between the payments of those in the upper grades as opposed to those in the lower grades. In Ireland, typically, the rate is 7.7%, meaning the multiple above that the upper grade earns. In Nordic countries, for example, it is approximately 3.1%.
