Seanad debates

Thursday, 19 December 2002

I endorse what Senator O'Toole said about the salaries of Members; we were seriously underpaid for a long time. I cynically laugh when I hear Members who are green in every sense of the word – republican, environmental and newly elected – bursting to get on the radio to denounce these pay rises. In my experience, those people would be among the first to go on the radio and denounce the pay rise and then rub their hands with glee and, to use Senator Ross's wonderful word, "trouser" it as quickly as they can.
