County councillors are set to get a substantial pay rise following confirmation that the Cabinet is set to approve an €8,000-a-year pay increase for the country’s 947 local politicians.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and his ministerial colleagues at the Cabinet table sign off on the rise which was included in the Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Green Party programme for Government.

The increase was given the green light following proposals presented by Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister of State, Peter Burke TD and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Michael McGrath TD based on recommendations from the Moorhead Report.
