most of the time? FFS these people are not qualified to do what they are doing.

Anyhow OP have a look @ http://www.moneyguideireland.com/ministers-salary-cuts-in-budget-2010.html
They would also get expenses, huge pensions, etc.

Incidentally, Dan Boyle recognises that the public are a little pissed off over the politician's pensions. I do think he is slightly missing the point of our ire...
