A pay rise for MLAs has been called "an insult" to hard-up families after "Stormont was mothballed for two years". On Monday April 1, MLAs salaries increased by £500, bringing their annual earnings to £52,500, with Executive Ministers receiving a similar increase to their pay. It is understood that the decision to increase the salaries was made independently based on inflation and comes just eight weeks after Stormont returned.
