Pay rises create appalling vista, says LRC chief

PAY increases at Anglo Irish Bank create an appalling vista and difficulty in the context of the negotiations the Labour Relations Commission is involved in, according to LRC chief executive Kieran Mulvey.

Speaking at the Public Affairs Ireland Conference in Dublin he said nobody accepts or understands the rationale.

He said pay increases are few and far between at the moment, and in the past year he has only been involved with three areas where increases have been awarded.
