Gallagher rules out voluntary Áras pay cut

PRESIDENTIAL hopeful, Seán Gallagher, said he will not be offering to take a cut in the salary for the position if he is successful in his bid for the Áras.

Instead, he said, it’s up to the Taoiseach to decide what salary should be paid to the President and he would accept whatever is decided by Government.

The Cavan businessman was announcing measures he believes could save the taxpayers millions in the expensive presidential campaign.
