An article in yesterday’s edition, concerning proposals to abolish a number of town councils, said town councillors receive an annual payment of €16,700.
In fact a taxable payment of approximately between €2,000 and €4,000 is paid to town councillors, depending on the size of the town. City and county councillors receive a payment of €16,700.
