Kenny took salary cut
This is untrue. Mr Kenny’s first act was to cut his own salary by €15,000 to €200,000 per annum. This is a full €110,000 less than what was paid to ex-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.
Mr Fitzgerald also attacks the former Minister for Justice Nora Owen for her “obscene taxpayer-funded pension”. Ms. Owen is 67 years of age and is entitled to a pension of €73,000. How does this compare with the former Fianna Fáil ministers Noel Dempsey and Dermot Ahern, both young men in their 50s, who are entitled to pensions of around €110,000?I take it that Mr FitzGerald sees no problem with these pensions?
