The Hard Shoulder Highlights

"To have TDs earning over €100,000 is a disgrace..."

TDs are set to see their salaries exceed past €100,000 per year in the coming months in a 2% pay rise. The pay rise, awarded to public service sectors, will come into effect by July. Backbench TDs will get a hike from just over €98,000 to just over €100,000. Kieran was joined by Mick Barry, People Before Profit TD for Cork North Central, and also by former Minister for Justice Nora Owen, who debated whether the increase was a good idea.
