Councillors' Pay: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2021-02-22
============================================================

Mary Seery Kearney (CC), Nominated by the Taoiseach

That concludes the contributions of Senators. It is over to the Minister of State. We can sum up the debate in saying that pay and powers need to be addressed. I thank him most sincerely for all the work he has done since he came into office. Naturally, I would have liked to have tacked maternity leave on to the debate, but it has been withdrawn lest it be construed as a delay in what is rightfully in the hands of the councillors.
