There is no economic justification for public sector pay increases

As a member of the forced diaspora, it depressed me to read that Minister for Enterprise Richard Bruton said that pay for the public sector would be restored.

The entire public sector is paid for by the taxes produced from the private sector, be it large multinationals, family-owned and one-person businesses, or the agricultural sector.

If the Government does have more money, shouldn’t it be building up the resources that were taken from those who help the most vulnerable in society.
