Judges and magistrates want their salaries to double, according to figures released on Bondi+ last night.
Judges are eyeing an increase to €92,000 from €52,000 while magistrates want their €46,000 annual salary to be raised to €90,000.
If the proposed figures are taken on board, the Chief Justice’s salary would increase from €59,000 to €100,000.
The figures, which were given to the programme by what the producers said were “very reliable sources”, come after magistrates and judges boycotted a number of events of state and some spoke anonymously about their conditions needing improvement.
