Madam, Taoiseach Brian Cowen has exhorted us to do all we can't to bring costs into line with those prevailing elsewhere, so as to restore competitiveness.
In this regard he may wish to emulate the virtuous Ms Beverley Flynn ("I have not gone into politics to make money") by considering his own salary, which currently exceeds that of the US
president. - Yours, etc,
ANNE CAHILL, Laurel Park, Clondalkin, Dublin 22.
