Appropriation Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-11-07
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

The Senator has proved me wrong. God knows what the afternoon could yet bring.
I was involved with the Moorhead report and with the various decisions we made on councillors' expenses and recognition for the very hard work they do. I will have to come back to the Senator separately on the status of the review of councillors' pensions. I am sure the matter is being dealt with by the Department of housing and local government, which has not yet engaged with me on it. I imagine it will not be doing so in the coming days. It will fall to the Ministers of the next Government to deal with this matter. I will find out the status of it and ensure the Senator is furnished with information on it.
