110 Deputy John Halligan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will make available to Dáil Éireann details of remuneration paid to both Waterford city and county councillors in respect of both salaries and expenses for the years 2010 and 2011 respectively. [10349/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has no function in relation to the remuneration of city and county councillors. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government is responsible for providing, by way of regulations, for the payment by a local authority of remuneration to its members and for the payment of allowances for expenses incurred by its members. I understand from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government that the Deputy may wish to consult the public register, provided for in section 142(4)(g) of the Local Government Act 2001, maintained by the relevant local authorities by virtue of article 8 of the Local Government (Representational Payment for Members) Regulations 2001 (SI No. 552 of 2001).
