Priests in the Archdiocese of Dublin have been hit with a 25 per cent pay cut in an effort to offset the huge drop in income caused by the closure of churches due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a letter sent to priests in the diocese, and seen by the Tablet, Fr Paul Taylor, chairman of the cxecutive committee of the Common Fund, explains that the substantial cut was necessitated by the fact that since the crisis arose, “the revenue that pays our stipends has collapsed”.
