Where were the cuts for the cutters?

I GET it, we all have to pay for the sins of those who voted for Fianna Fáil and because we love our country, we will pay the price.

It is a very high price for those of us lucky enough to have emigrated as we see our parents and siblings, who were not so lucky, struggle to stay solvent.

However, the most repulsive thing about the four-year plan was not that it wasn’t announced in the Dáil, with the press conference held later, but that after they had finished talking Brian Cowen was still paying himself €223,000, while Brian Lenihan and John Gormley and their colleagues were all still paying themselves €191,000.
