Unfair attacks on public service

HERE we go again.

Scrap the Croke Park Agreement. More attacks on the men and women who work in the service of the people of Ireland. And these attacks coming from well-paid, €100K-a-year-plus, ‘freelance’ journalists and other commentators who are not subject to the PAYE income tax system and who are wealthy enough to engage accountants to enable them to avoid paying income tax.

Of course the attacks are not made directly against “frontline staff” (and rightly so) but against the so-called “backroom” staff or administrators and general operatives within the health, rescue and security services.
