RTE's Cathal MacCoile doesn't like the answer, or else he doesn't understand it On Morning Ireland this morning (16 July 2009) Cathal MacCoille asks Tom Geraghty of the Public Service Executive Union about some CSO statistics. Geraghty explains that they are bogus for the purpose MacCoile is using them - trying to argue that public sector workers get paid more than private sector workers. Geraghty also explains that the CSO recognise that fact. But MacCoille keeps asking the same question, oblivious of the fact that Geraghty keeps answering it. It is a pity that RTE staff fell for their own media propaganda and voted by just over 50% for pay cuts. Suppose that means they can now shout from the rooftops - 'look at us we are getting paid less than the private sector and proud of it'. They shouldn't believe all they see and hear on RTE - such saps.
