A Laois-Offaly TD has been appointed to the role.
The new chairman of the Public Accounts Committee will take a pay increase, despite indicating he and his colleagues may look into salary raises given to three super junior ministers.
Laois-Offaly TD Brian Stanley will receive a €9,000 allowance, which is taxable, while junior ministers with a seat at the cabinet table are getting a €16,000 bump.
The Sinn Féin deputy is defending the move:
