Bigger pay packets would attract much better talent. Around €23.5m in public money is now paid annually to sitting Dáil politicians following a 1% pay rise received last August. The basic annual salary paid to TDs increased by more than €1,000 to reach €117,113. The 60 members of the Seanad now receive €82,018 in gross pay each year.
