We should reform Oireachtas rather than cut benefits to needy

The British Prime Minister David Cameron is attempting some spectacular reform in the House of Lords.

Why isn’t our Taoiseach looking for some real savings through similar reform, as promised, in our Government and quango circles?

It would be a noble lead and a more feasible means of raising some of the necessary funds than heeding IMF mission chief to Ireland Craig Beaumont as he pressurises the Government to cut dole, medical cards and child benefits.
