‹ Order of Business Sinn Féin Deputies’ salaries
Summary
Emmet Stagg challenges Sinn Féin Deputies to reduce their salaries to €75,000 or return money they consider excessive, but the Ceann Comhairle rules it a matter for a parliamentary question.
Can the Tánaiste confirm that no legislation is required for Sinn Féin Deputies to act in accordance with the wishes of Deputy McDonald, as expressed this morning, and cut their wages to €75,000 a year?

That is not a matter for the Order of Business. It is a matter for a parliamentary question.

A short letter to the Minister, Deputy Howlin, would suffice. If they do not think they are earning the money they can give it back.

Or their Westminster salaries either.
