Rabbitte calls for end to 'ridiculous' pay for semi-state bosses

Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte has said that it is "ridiculous" for board members of semi-state bodies to persist in implementing pay packages that "aren't in the wildest dreams" of the average worker.

Minister Rabbitte made the comments following the decision by the DAA chief Declan Collier to forego his €106,000 bonus for 2010.
