Calls for debate on maximum wage as revealed top bosses paid 33 times more than average worker

A TD has called for a 'dramatic narrowing' of the pay gap between bosses and workers and has proposed a number of measures to fight the growing inequality in Irish society.

Solidarity TD Mick Barry's call came after research by the Irish Times revealed that the bosses of Ireland’s top 20 companies (ISEQ 20) are paid on average 33 times more than their staff.
