Going back to the organisation's budgets, a couple of issues struck me. The organisation has about 67 staff who are on an average of €70,000 per year. What are the lowest and the highest salary levels? I note that a bonus of just short of €220,000 was paid in 2011. To whom was that paid and how many people were involved? Was a bonus paid in 2012? This appears to be out of keeping with the present economic environment.
