Madam, – Margery Brady points out that Ryan Tubridy did not ask Brian Cowen why he was paid more than any other European leader or President Obama (September 8th). Why, indeed, did Brian Cowen not ask Ryan Tubridy why he was paid more than himself and all the other leaders? – Yours,
Madam – Your correspondent, Margery Brady, is seriously misinformed. She upbraided Ryan Tubridy for not not asking Brian Cowen why he earns more than any other European leader. My own understanding is that he is certainly paid more than other leaders – but earns? That is another question entirely! – Yours, etc,
