Overpaid elites leave us in shambolic state

IVOR Callely and his expenses, Jackie Healy Rae and his combined family’s expenses are really only a diversion.

In fact, if one delves a little deeper Anglo Irish Bank and the possibility of losing more than €30 billion is another diversion of a sort.

The governmental system is a shambles. Our non-performing Taoiseach sets the trend with his outrageous salary, while the President and the leaders of our semi-states also draw salaries way above that of Brian Cowen.
