Two Shannonside Oireachtas members have confirmed that they will not be taking the new pay rise on its way.

Seanad members are also set for a raise but speaking on the Joe Finnegan Show, Senator Eugene Murphy confirmed he will not be accepting the money

"In my own situation I won't be taking it and I haven't taken the last 2 pay increases. I won't judge the people who do, it's just my decision".
