Luas salaries perversion of ‘ask and you shall receive’

There is something badly wrong when a Luas driver’s starting salary is almost €36k while skilled gardaí and nurses receive a starting salary of approximately €23k.

A firefighter takes serious risks for almost €25k while an educated primary teacher starts with approximately €27k.

This is totally unacceptable when one considers the number of crashes involving Luas drivers. On top of this, its engineers did not even intersect just two train lines!

Luas staff are indeed a perversion of ‘ask and you shall receive’.
