The salaries of Ireland’s top chief executives are “absolutely obscene” and things are getting worse post-COVID, according to People Before Profit.

“One of them, the CRH executive, is getting €13.9m annual salary while the average worker working for CRH is on €48,000 He said the salaries are totally unjustified when compared to those of nurses and other frontline workers who are saving lives for fractions of the money paid to executives.
