Special treatment for TDs

WHAT annoys me about the €5 increase in the State pension that Paschal Donohoe gave us this week is why we have to wait until March before we receive it?

Meanwhile, he awards TDs a salary top-up of almost €1,000 per year, which they will be receiving immediately. This is Paddy Hyland, by email. grossly unfair. We worked hard for our country for 45 years,and paid our income tax and PRSI. The finance minister dipped his greedy hands into our wage packets and took those taxes out. We didn’t have the option of saying: ‘We’ll pay you in five months’ time.’
