As a former teacher himself, does the Taoiseach think it is fair that young teachers coming into the profession this year should be working alongside people doing exactly the same job but be earning 25% less? Is that not straightforward wage apartheid? Is it not discrimination and ageism? Is it not completely unfair? Is not utterly unfair that the difference in earnings over the lifetime of those new, young teachers will be the price of a house? That is the difference. Are they to blame for the financial crash that has hit this country?
