Salary comparisons don't really add up

The German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel earns €19,705.68 per month. Added to that is the cost of security detail and an official residence.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny earns €16,666. He also has a residence in Dublin at his disposal and security detail is paid.

The population of Germany is 80 million. The population of the Republic of Ireland is five million.

It's highly unlikely that someone who plays for Rovers Football Club in Tallaght earns 84 per cent of what his counterpart in Bayern Muenchen earns.
