It seems like an extraordinary amount of rent when there are so many State owned buildings.

In terms of the charities themselves and the pay for CEOs, it has to be said an awful lot of charities operate on a voluntary basis and there is no remuneration whatsoever. For CEOs who are paid, the average is approximately €70,000. There were some reports in the media that said CEOs were making up to €160,000 and some said that was justifiable. Are salaries and remuneration packages monitored by the regulator?
