Cllr Jennifer Green has branded the new payments as “disgusting”
Sinn Féin have hit out at Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party after the trio voted for a €12,000 allowance to be made available to the chair of the new Dundalk Municiple District committee at a meeting in the Town Hall last night.
The three parties voted in favour of the allowance, which will go firstly to new district chairperson Declan Breathnach.
Sinn Féin and independent TD Maeve Yore voted against the allowance, with Sinn Féin councillors taking to Facebook to hit out at the sum.
Describing the allowance as “shocking” former Dundalk Town Council chair, Jennifer Green said: “With 11 meetings per annum and the meetings lasting just over an hour…..in black and white the chair gets paid just over €1,000 an hour!
“Sinn Fein and an independent voted morally against this insane top up. They’re just creating jobs for the boys. Disgusting!”
