EVERY single TD will cost the taxpayer more than €276,000 to fund next year, official figures have revealed.
On average, each of the 166 TDs will receive €110,000 in basic salary in 2009, an increase of €2,400 on this year’s figure.
This is because the TDs received two separate salary hikes this year, despite the country’s slide into recession and the Government urging pay restraint.
In addition to basic salary, TDs will qualify for an average of €23,800 apiece in travel expenses next year.
