Aontú says it's about time the government showed some solidarity with the public.
Aontú is proposing a new bill that would force TDs and senators to take a 25 per cent pay cut during lockdown.
The basic salary of a TD is €96,000, while senators earn €69,000.
Party leader and Meath-West TD, Peadar Tóibín says it's time the government started to show some solidarity with the public, with hundreds of thousands unemployed as a result of the pandemic:
