Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

-----what happened to those who caused the crisis? What does the budget say to them - the bankers, the developers and the politicians who were there at the time of the crash? Where is the fairness in the budget for them? We know that 22 of the top 50 Anglo Irish executives who were there at the time of the collapse are still in their positions. Nineteen of them earn more than €175,000 a year, paid for from the public purse. We know that the former taoisigh, Bertie Ahern and Brian Cowen, are on pensions, after the Government's reduction in them, of €147,000 per year.
