Reality check

IT was interesting recently to hear Foreign Minister Micheál Martin on the radio telling us the minimum wage of €8.65 an hour must be open to review and, by implication, could be lowered. Doubtless he himself will have an input to that decision.

But, given that his own rate of pay per hour is nearer €100 (based on a 40-hour week), one wonders if he really has any grip on the reality of what he is suggesting now.
