It seems Government Ministers won’t be getting a pay rise from the Budget after all.
They had been due to get a €12,000 boost – over the next three years – as part of a pay restoration deal.
But Public Expenditure Minister Pascal Donohoe is to ask Ministers to waive the rise after a public outcry.
Newspaper reports today claim Ministers’ pay is to be frozen at €157,000 with no increases next year.
