I noted a few days ago that the government’s justification for the U-turn on pay cuts for senior civil servants was to cite the international benchmarking carried out for the Review Body report that recommended the cuts in the first place. This seemed an unsatisfactory defence of this controversial decision. Yesterday in the Dail, the Tanaiste put forward a new justification for the decision (link to Dail transcript here ).

Dan Beeton Newmatilda.com (Australia), January 26, 2010 En español See article on original website Debt, Aid, Foreign Interference and the Most-Impoverished Country in the Western Hemisphere The recent earthquake in Haiti has brought the island nation a perhaps unprecedented level of attention, interest, generosity and solidarity.

Day 2 of our partner conference here in Manila, and Hammad Siddiqui from our Pakistan office is talking about corporate governance of family-owned firms—a big issue here in Asia.
