I reckon the Cabinet was just about right in its calculations that the €510 per week pay rise ministers awarded themselves would comfortably cover the increase in the cost-of-living for the subsequent three years. For Tom, Dick and Harry, €10 per week should suffice. After all, it will cover the increase in petrol costs. Or will it?
But, hey, the members of Cabinet do not have to incur this expense either.
I want to be a minister. Please vote for me.
