Bord Snip Nua targets consultants pay deal
A bruising drawn-out battle between the senior medics and Health Minister Mary Harney resulted in a restructuring of their pay and conditions earlier this year, but the think tank tasked with finding €5 billion in fresh spending cuts has put them in its sights again.
The group’s recommendations for what areas of Government spending need to be axed will go to Finance Minister Brian Lenihan this Wednesday and he is expected to present it to cabinet the following week.
