Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It would be worth the Government's while to have a complete review of higher public servants' pay in respect of it being equitable, accounted for and transparent. The current situation is not transparent and causes more hurt and anger among ordinary public servants who do their jobs diligently every day, yet find themselves facing more levies, charges and increased taxes. Meanwhile, they can see and read about exceptional bonuses being paid to some individuals far up the line.
