John’s golden parachute
JOHN O’DONOGHUE will receive a golden parachute package of more than €110,000 over the next two years on top of his €106,500 TD salary to cushion the humiliating blow of being forced from the Ceann Comhairle’s chair to the Dáil back benches.
The Kerry South TD will also hold on to a number of perks, including €5,000 a year unvouched expenses, €8,000 a year for travel around his constituency, €126 a night to stay in Dublin during the Dáil week and a pension of €67,000 a year once he retires from politics.
