I would like to say that they do not have much courage when it comes to looking at our own terms and conditions. Very few voices are raised in here. When I raised this the other day, I was mocked for my pains by Miriam Lord. I am going to continue to do it. There are 111 civil servants in Leinster House who get more than we get. The long-service increment was abolished. I do not know of another job that does not have a long service increment. I get the same after 32 years and about ten elections fought and won as somebody who was nominated the other day.
