Fairness and entrants to public service

Sir, – A pay agreement that goes no way to resolving the serious inequity of lesser-paid new entrants to the public service, except the proposal of a further talking shop, cannot be described as "fair" (Editorial, Sat. August 11th) under any normal measure of fairness. – Yours, etc,

DEIRDRE MacDONALD,

Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.
