Ó Snódaigh's pledge to gift back part of the €255,000 salary is a strategic move to attract support from opposition parties and Independents, particularly during challenging economic times.
He emphasized the need for salary benchmarking: "Because they're benchmarked against public service, just seems obscene for that level, especially given we have a cost-of-living crisis, it's the wrong signal to be sent out there."
Ó Snódaigh mentioned his past practice: "I've waived a part of my salary for the last number of years - you have to gift it back," signifying a commitment to fiscal responsibility.
With a competitive race for the ceann comhairle position, the dynamics among Fianna Fáil candidates and the nomination of Verona Murphy by Independents could impact the election's outcome.
