Hyland slams MLA pay increase as ‘an absolute disgrace’

Speaking to Newry Times, Hyland said, “I think it’s an absolute disgrace that they should be given an 11% pay rise. Many people are struggling on low pay and insufficient social security payments, yet the politicians in the ivory tower of Stormont are getting a £5,000 pay rise or over £400 per month.”
He added, “Given the inability of Stormont politicians to deal with rising unemployment and fuel poverty, there is absolutely so support for this latest initiative.”

Sounds like a case of sour grapes because he is not getting it! – i wonder if he would say the same if he had not been kicked out of his old party?
Didn`t see him having a specific jibe at his old party yet the above posters appear to have.
What do you`s think of the pay increase ? the subject of his statement.
If`s are irrellevant afterall IF my uncle had breasts he`d be my auntie.
