Doling out some fairness in the row over benefits

AS WE enter the final weeks of 2018, I saw a candidate for headline of the year in the Irish Independent (October 30). “Dole for self-employed is unfair, unions complain” – this in a western country which uniquely pays its public servants far more than those in the private sector and with little or no accountability. I guess some people’s concept of “unfair” is rather different to mine. Gerry Kelly Rathgar, Dublin 6
