TDs are set to get a pay rise of over €2,000 on Wednesday.
Politicians will be awarded the salary hike under a public sector pay deal which will see a TD’s basic wages top €107,000 - and this is before their infamously generous expenses are added on top.
The Dáil sits for an average of 100 days a year, just three days a week before huge holidays, so it means their salary stands at over €1,000 for every day they represent voters in the Dáil.
