Poll: Is the €130,000 salary proposed for directly-elected city mayors fair?
THIS WEEK, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced that the proposed directly-elected mayors for Cork, Limerick and Waterford will be paid €130,000.
The public will be asked to vote on whether they approve of the idea of directly-elected mayors in a plebiscite, due to happen on the same day as the local and European elections on 24 May.
Tánaiste Simon Coveney has defended the €130,000 salary, insisting that amount of money is required to attract the right candidates.
“The salary is at that rate because it needs to be. This will be a serious, full-time job that will require a lot of energy, a lot of drive, 14-hour days,” Coveney told The Irish Examiner yesterday.
We want to know what you think? Is it the right amount, or is it just too much money?
