Page move from TD (parliament)
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request.
I would say this ought to be moved to "Teachta Dála". It needs an admin to do the honours. — Trilobite (Talk) 09:45, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

TD's paycheck
Why isn't there something about how much TDs are paid? There is a salary section in the President of the United States article, why shouldn't there be in this one? I think its most definetly needed, especially as they are quite hightly paid. Olockers (talk) 21:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- Good point - since your post it has been started. A ref. to historical rates/payments since 1922 with comparative pay scales would be interesting. RashersTierney (talk) 23:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- This article by Garret FitzGerald from the Irish Times of 10 October 2009 contains some interesting figures [1]:
