Annual Salary: €148,295 (which includes €7,415 paid by the CEO as a pension contribution to the Superannuation scheme operated by An tÚdarás, which is a defined benefit pension scheme).

A bonus scheme under which an annual bonus of up to 20% of salary may be paid is in operation. The CEO is also provided with a company car, which is subject to benefit in kind tax.

Pobal

I have no statutory function in relation to the remuneration package of the CEO of Pobal. However, for the sake of completeness, I understand that the annual salary of the current CEO is €136,034. The CEO is part of the 10% Employer Contribution pension scheme, which is the standard employer contribution that Pobal makes to employees pensions.
