Local Government (Support for Elected Members) Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-10
============================================================

Eileen Flynn (IND), Administrative Panel

On a point of order, I just wish to correct the record. My mother used to say that even the best in class can make mistakes. The Senator was right. I made a mistake. It was an increase of 2%. County councillors now get €29,000. If you look at that in the context of the cost of living, then county councillors have been cut by 6%. I would like to thank the Senator for giving women councillors maternity leave. Thank you, Senator. You are very good.
