I heard that stat before, I'm sure Obama must get some other benefits though than just the basic pay part? or Does Enda really get more money than the head of the free world, sad times if true.

To be honest im not really sure. I just remember reading it awhile back and was pretty shocked if true.

I do know he is the 3rd best payed european leader. Imo still way way too much money for any leader imo, as i believe our leaders should be on a standard wage so only people who really want the job and want to help the country would take it. We should also follow Icelands lead and banish/lock up all our bankers xD .

Aye a big paycheque is a fairly bad reason to get into a position and also means that they might not be the best with funds if they're so removed from the rest of society but yeah I probably seen the same report you did on the wages and just didn't look into it out of disgust at the thought there was any truth to it. The fact that half of the Irish gov gets a wage at all is a dissappointment.
