Bonus row highlights unfair distribution of wealth

THE latest spat between those in high places in receipt of large bonuses and the Government surely highlights two glaring problems in this country.

The first is the grossly unfair distribution of wealth generally, and secondly, the ongoing scandal of the plethora of quangos and boards here.

Has the minister considered the simple questions of whether we need a board in the first place to run these semi-state organisations, and if it is required to satisfy some legal requirement or other, do we need so many individuals on them? Aside from this, Leo Varadkar gave the clear impression that he and the Government have a problem with individuals taking more than their share out of the national pie.
