That said, the IMO are a community of practice as well as effectively a kind of trade union, and I can only assume that their members would expect that negotiators would get them the best possible payment. Why should only TDs have principles? Isn't the nub of the problem that principles are for some people but not others? I wouldn't blame Reilly for the IMO deal - its pretty minor compared to the consultants obscene wage packets.

For a man who was never short of ideas, its amazing how quickly hes become part of the system.
