Sir, - In his recent address to the social partners, it is reported that the Taoiseach warned against a return to "leap-frogging" pay claims.
Is this the same Taoiseach who recently accepted a pay increase about 20 per cent above the terms of the PPF for himself and his colleagues? For sheer hypocrisy and braziness, surely this represents a world-beating, all-time low. - Yours, etc.,
Bernard Lynch, Glendale Meadows, Leixlip, Co Kildare.
