TDs are set for a pay rise in the next few months as part of a wider public service pay restoration agreement.
Currently TD’s are paid a basic salary of over €98,000 a year. However, by the first of July this is set to increase to over €100,000.
The money is being awarded to higher public service sectors as wages are being restored to levels last reached in 2008. Senators pay is also set to increase to more than €70,000 a year.
A new public sector pay deal is expected to be ratified by unions tomorrow which could lead to another pay rise for deputies in October next year.
