The 'truth' about public sector pay

Sir, – Another welcome, insightful article by Fintan O’Toole (Opinion, October 11th. This is journalism at its best, questioning and dissecting so-called “facts” and “truths”. If more reporters and commentators in the media looked at the evidence behind glib statements and questioned those who make them, we would have a much better-informed public and less bigotry.

I had also been struck by Mr Sutherland’s blithe (and not surprising) and pontificating responses when interviewed by Cathal MacCoille on RTÉ and am delighted see him being taken to task and his comments analysed. – Yours, etc,
