Kenny’s €43k top-up pay ‘fully compliant with the law’

Enda Kenny has insisted that Fine Gael was “100%” compliant with the law when paying him a top-up to his Dáil salary from public monies.

The Taoiseach was responding to a report yesterday about Fine Gael’s use of the party leader’s allowance while in opposition.

The allowance is a form of state funding for parties in the Dáil which they use for parliamentary activities.
