Anger after Kenny says he’s worth €3,500-a-week

Mr Kenny’s remarks provoked anger among lone parent groups and carers for disabled people, after he said there was no need to cut his €185,350 salary as “we’ve cut everything to the bone”.
A group representing lone parents said the remarks would anger people who were struggling financially. “They would react with a lot of anger and disappointment as the small amount they receive, either through social welfare, or work, has been cut,” said Stuart Duffin of the organisation One Family.
