Helping people to get jobs

Sir, – When I saw the photograph of Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton and Tánaiste and Minister of Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore holding goofy job-creating T-shirts bearing the words: “I help people get jobs”, I couldn’t wait to see the reverse side (Business Back Page, November 15th). So I turned the page and there it was: a large advertisement for the position of chief financial officer at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Been there, done that. – Yours, etc,
