"Salary of incoming AIB head to exceed State cap on bank pay"

SENIOR AIB executive Colm Doherty, who will shortly be appointed managing director of the bank, will not be forced to take a salary cut to meet the Government’s cap of €500,000 for top bankers.

Mr Doherty’s annual salary is expected to remain at about €633,000, the amount he was paid in 2008, after his imminent promotion to the new role of managing director at AIB, according to sources with knowledge of the bank’s plans.

Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan set a cap of €500,000 on the salaries of chief executives under the bank guarantee last February, lower than a base salary of €690,000 recommended by a Government-appointed committee for the State’s two biggest banks.
Mr Doherty, AIB’s preferred choice as chief executive, is set to be appointed to the new post of managing director in a compromise reached with the Government, which had favoured the appointment of an external candidate as chief executive.
A spokesman for the Department of Finance had no comment.

What sort of compromise was that? All palsy walsy with the heads in government? And we, the voters, are supposed to accept this as banks and the gov. learning from their mistakes?
If we accept this than we deserve to be screwed over

Attitudes like this are half the problem, matey. Not enough people caring. Got let people know this kinda ****e is happening, whether they care or not.


And yeah, Vincent Brown and friends had a good ol' shout about this tonight, followed by an even better shout about Jedward.

I thought Step 1 was steal underpants ??

In other news....bankers are found to be ripping people off....

I have emailed Brian and politely asked for an explanation. There was a fierce rabble about this between us in work today too.

should he reply, I'll copy it here

Ah, but you see, he is not a 'CEO' - he is a 'managing director' so no braeking has taken place.:rolleyes:

In the other news, the government has set up a 'SPV' which means that, technically the NAMA bonds don't sit on the countries debt sheet and they have also changed the financial year for Anglo to give them more 'breathing space' - can they really lecture anyone on the dangers of creative accounting?

No, I'm off to the north, BMW have kindly agreed to re-label the 5-series as a 'mechanically propelled horseless carriage appliance' so technically I shouldn't have to pay VRT.

Hey - you get what you voted for, Enjoy.

What do you expect really? Typical, sure you can only have this amount because its capped, but no, sure its ok, here, have more then what we said you can have.

There is a great analysis of this in the indo today.

The real story is that AIB got an insider the job in the first place, and are breaching corporate guidelines in its new job structure.

The pay thing is a distraction , esp as its now back to the 500k ( ! ) .
