Sir, - It is not so long ago that we were surprised at pay claims of hundreds of pounds for working on New Year's Eve. Now the claims are for thousands and it appears not to cause even a ripple of unease. Are these demands justified? Those making them must feel they are "worth it".
As the Celtic Tiger roars onwards and upwards into the next millennium it seems somehow appropriate that the 1990s, a decade of unparalleled prosperity, should end in this orgy of greed and self interest. - Yours, etc., Vivion O'Brien,
