Madam, – Indeed there is a scandal of salaries in the public service (Home News, October 10th), where a high profile TV/radio presenter (Leaving Cert plus four years higher education) can be paid four times as much a hospital consultant on the new contract (Leaving Cert plus at least seven years higher education), or more than 10 times more than a secondary teacher (Leaving Cert plus four years higher education). – Yours, etc,
DERMOT FAGAN,
Llewellyn Grove,
Dublin 16.
