People are facing real job loses with this deficit and cuts to our public services. We all pay taxes which are meant to support public services, but it seems to simply go into their increasing wages on the back of everyone else in northern ireland. The cuts already introduced few months ago have led to job loses but no one talks about it!

I believe its time for the northen ireland goverment to take a hit like everyone else. I believe that anyone working in government on a salary of over £45k should be taking a 5-10% pay cut. A single salary of £45k in northern ireland is beyond more than comfortable to live on and they might start to take things seriously when their pay packets are hit and this money can go towards this 200 million deficit. The people in northern ireland should take a stand and realise it doesn't have to be this way, we elected them to do good for our country but do anyone of them actually do any work.

If you look at each MP's expenses bill: http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/Your-MLAs/Members-Salaries-and-Expenses/Members-Expenses-2012---2013-April-2012---March-2013/

The total of all expenses in that year was £8,425,479! This is simply in expenses of a hand-full of people!
