Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Neil McDonnell:

To be honest, when I am asked a question like that in here, it makes me depressed. I do not know how many CEOs we have in plcs who are in receipt of seven figure remuneration but I think it is fewer than 50. If people become fascinated with peaking through the lace curtain at what this tiny number of people are getting paid, we just become lost. We are talking about the 2 million.
