Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway County Council is to stop the delivery of paper payslips to its elected representatives, in an effort to save money.
At a recent meeting of the local authority, Independent Cllr Geraldine Donohoe proposed the change - and requested that money saved on printing, paper and postage would be allocated to the council's environmental department.
County Councillors passed the motion but included an opt-out preference for those who do not have the technology to receive the payslip electronically.
It was also agreed that a copy of the proposal should be sent to all other local authorities in the country.
According to Councillor Donohue, if all other councils nationwide adopted the change, nearly 25-thousand euro could be saved every year....
