STATE TO SPEND €9 million ON CLERICS PAY NEXT YEAR

 Cyprus Mail 5 November 2024 - by Elias Hazou



In 2025 the state will spend about €9 million on the salaries of clerics, based on an agreement between the government and the church dating to the early 1970s.

The finance ministry has budgeted €8.85 million to pay the wages of Christian Orthodox priests based in rural areas, plus another €350,000 for the clerics of other denominations – Maronites, Armenians and Latins.

The arrangement dates back to 1971 when President Makarios introduced the deal between the government, which he headed, and the church – which he also headed.

QUESTIONS RAISED OVER LEGALITY OF SECURITY DOGS AT CYPRUS AIRPORTS

 in-cyprus 6 November 2024 - by Fanis Makrides



The Civil Aviation Department has questioned the legality of using security dogs at Larnaca and Paphos airports by private contractor ICTS, which provides security services under an agreement with airport operator Hermes.

ICTS staff have been deploying dogs at both airports since October, prompting immediate concern from the Civil Aviation Department, the state’s supervisory authority for airport security. The department claims it is the sole authority authorised to certify and approve such security measures, noting that ICTS had not submitted any formal request for dog deployment.
