Enda’s inflated self-worth

Barry Walsh (Letters, January 24) laments the public discussion regarding Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s salary and uses cherry-picked comparisons to present it as acceptable, even modest.

However, when you consider the countries he referenced (Germany, Canada and the United States), and the size of their populations and economies relative to Ireland, it’s clear that any comparison between the salaries of the respective leaders is nonsense.

What Mr Walsh chose not to mention is how Enda Kenny’s salary compares to that of the leaders of the UK, Sweden, Spain, France and the Netherlands.
