I don't understand why someone thinks they can attack Pat Kenny over his salary. He does a good job, he's climbed to the top of his trade, he attracts many viewers and advertising. If he were in private television he'd be paid a similar amount.

If they want to attack RTE then fair enough, but attacking Pat Kenny himself is absolutely stupid. And you have no idea of the unbelievable wastage that goes to some people working for the government if you think Mr. Pat Kenny doesn't deserve what he gets or is one of the guys that's earning too much, at least a lot of his earnings are paid for by advertisers. There are people out there that get similar amounts for sitting around at stupid meetings and things doing nothing.
