Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I have two questions for the Tánaiste on this. Does she think it is fair that Mary Duffy should take a cut of €77 in her pay while those in her Department who are paid six or seven times what she is paid should have a sweetheart arrangement made for them by the Government during the Christmas period? Also, will the Tánaiste answer the question she did not answer yesterday when I asked her about this matter? Will she give Mary Duffy a straight answer as to whether her pay will be cut a third time by the Government?
