The table below sets out the pay rates applicable from 1 September 2008 to date. Officeholders are paid a salary as a TD/Senator plus an additional salary in respect of the specific Office they hold.
In 2020 the Government decided that members of the Government and Ministers of State would gift 10% of their remuneration (Ministerial and TD/Senator pay) as of September 2019 to the State on an annual basis together with all the value of the pay increase due on 1 October 2020 (2%). The gifting figure is a fixed amount and is approximately 10% of the combined Officeholder and TD salaries.
