Not quite meanwhile back at the Seanad… September 30, 2010

Mid-morning, Seanad Éireann, the chamber rather sparsely attended during ‘Statements on the Economy’ – natch – and what does one see on the live feed, Pearse Doherty making an impassioned attack on the lack of clarity over matters financial, and who is that sitting beside him, is it, could it be, no, not Eoghan Harris!
Meanwhile, the emissary from the Department of Finance, Martin Mansergh, made the following intriguing statement…
Public sector wages have been cut providing a clear lead for other areas of the economy, or some such…
…wasn’t the original central argument that public sector wages were too high both in themselves and relative to the rest of the economy, not that the PS would be trailblazers for overall cuts?
Ah, how quickly they forget.
