Fine Gael's proposals to gut the public sector more than ever underline the degree to which they are doing the bidding of the "private sector" increasingly dominated by multinational firms - that and the old money professions of Law, Accountancy and Medicine - professions which are better paid in Ireland than almost anywhere else and which have yet to feel the full brunt of the current recession.
