Gilmore: Referendum objections show up 'old boy's network'

The Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore has said that the objections by eight former attorneys general to the proposed reforms of Oireachtas investigations and the judges’ pay referendum shows that "there is a bit of an old boy's network" present in the legal profession.

If the judges’ pay referendum is passed, it would allow for their salary to be cut proportionately if and when public servants’ pay is reduced in the public interest.
