Proposal to cap bankers’ pay rejected
Labour party finance spokeswoman Joan Burton had suggested executives at all banks propped up by taxpayers’ money should receive no more than the e250,000 salary of Finance Minister Brian Lenihan.
She said it was laughable for Transport Minister Noel Dempsey to tell the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis the Government would get tough on bankers if it would not curtail their earnings.
