Kenny defends Pay Cap Breach by his Department

[ang]

I'm not exactly sure where the defence is :-

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has defended the decision to breach a pay cap for the salaries of his own special advisors.

Department of Finance guidelines set a limit of €92,000 for Government advisors, but two members of staff in the Taoiseach's office are paid a salary of €168,000.

The Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said the Taosieach had "circumvented his own pay cap".

But Mr Kenny said the overall pay bill from his office has been reduced, when compared with the salaries paid by the previous Government.
