KEN HALPIN,
Madam, - Given that most people now have to pursue their working careers within an open market economy, it is strange how cossetted our public servants continue to be and how accepting of this is the public at large. Market forces and legislative changes directly affect working people in the exposed economy. The proposed payments to politicians to end the dual mandate is but one example of the protected class looking after itself.
In this particular case, I suggest that politicians are operating a cartel that serves their own interests at the expense of the Irish PAYE worker. - Yours, etc.,
KEN HALPIN,
