Time it was took off them
How much do Stormont MLAs and ministers get paid? Taxpayers will fork out almost £100k a week even if Assembly not sitting

MLAs get paid 55k, ministers get up to 86k and first & deputy first ministers get over 114k. It costs around £1m every month apparently not sure if that’s just salaries or salaries and expenses.

That's just salaries expenses are claimed annully I think . I know they publish a list of what certain members claim every year.

Outgoing MLAs who have lost their seats also get a severance package and “winding up” costs. Kind of like going for an interview, not getting the job but getting paid anyway 🙈

That’s right and not only the ones who werent re-elected but also those who didn’t stand this time around! They get a months salary for every year of service they’ve done with it capped at 6 months or something 😂 not bad is it! Only costing the tax payer another £300k during a cost of living crisis 😂

It’s a real wonder the living wage isn’t good enough for them 😂
