Councillor gratuities 2014

Just short of eight out of 10 people believe their household disposable income will stay static or even fall

The Irish Independent contacted all 31 local authorities to compile a list of all retirement gratuity payments due to councillors who have bowed out of political life.

NOTES

* payment deferred until former councillor reaches age of 50

Payments listed cover time served on city, county, borough or town councils. In some cases, councillors have served on one or more bodies.
