Councillors to debate halving lord mayor’s salary to €62k
Independent Fianna Fáil councillor Kenneth O’Flynn believes that the city council — which is facing a €1.7m reduction in its budget on the directions of Environment Minister Phil Hogan — cannot afford to pay such “extravagant” wages to its figurehead.
Cllr O’Flynn said Lord Mayor Cllr John Buttimer (FG) receives an annual salary of about €123,000.
