Heat on TDs as President Higgins rejects pay rise
Although ministers have agreed not to accept pay increases due to them under the unwinding of the FEMPI legislation, no such decision has been made with regards to TDs, who are due to see their pay rise by €5,400 over the next two years.
Sinn Féin have now lodged a Dáil motion to block pay restoration for TDs, which is linked to rises for senior civil servants due under the Lansdowne Road Agreement.
