A LOCAL councillor has hit out at the “huge discrepancy” between the Dun Laoghaire County Council Manger Owen Keegan’s salary of €153,260 and that of other council staff. The remark came on the heels of Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government Phil Hogan’s circulation of Dublin City
and County Council managers’ salary figures last week in response to a call for their publication from Sinn Fein Deputy, Mary Lou McDonald. Coucillor Lettie McCarthy (Lab) said: “It shows the great divide that exists between high earners and other council staff. There is a huge discrepancy there.” Full Story on Page 8
