Comment[edit]

I notice thhat my contribution was deleted by an editor. This contribution referenced the fact that Mr. Griffin secured jobs for various family members funded by the taxpayer, and was supported by a newspaper article in the Irish Independent.

Mr. Griffin's election campaign made much of his offer to reliquish half of the TDs salary if elected, and he duly did so. However, as he then dispensed jobs to relatives I cannot see why there is a problem with including this fully referenced fact in the wikipedia article.
