Pensions solution

WHY do we taxpayers have to call on ex-ministers like Máire Geoghegan-Quinn to relinquish their state pensions while earning large sums of money elsewhere?

They wouldn’t be called on to make these difficult decisions if the laws governing such matters had been changed, so this greed would never have been allowed to happen in the first place.

Off you go, Brian Cowen, and make it retrospective.
