Champagne Socialist Eamon Gilmore has said that he will "cut" his salary to €190,000 a year should he become the next Taoiseach.
The Labour leader has shocked much of his grassroots support by not making more radical cuts to the over paid position of Taoiseach while the rest of the country faces extreme economic hardship.
Eh... this is a job, a well paid job... it offers money and power... Mr. Gilmore is a professional polition... of course, it's all about the money, the perks, the pension, the travel, ... it's the top job for gods sake... Enda wants it too... Why are you so surprised?
