    His trust employs a lot of people and is in receipt of millions in government subsidies

    SO this means HE has an Ego, Peter doesnt get a wage, he sits in 2 drops in Berkely street and Sherard street where people can eat shower and just hang about.

    Peter also visits the prisons on a saturday morning free of charge to hand out cigarettes to those who dont get visits.

    When you work with addicts and vulnerable communities like the homeless, your staff to service user ratio needs to be quite high. This is not at all unusual.

    Poverty industry is a black hole

    Burn out is a huge burden on those in the sector, the work load can be overbearing too at times as so many people have underlying issues.

    Yes anyone not fit to work, those "affected" send to the Gulags in North Donegal to die off, like a lepper colony.

    Be careful where you ask Maxx to go.

    I'm convinced he's a secret leftie, and his graduate thesis is postmodern ironic agitation for left-wing policy development.

    Purging anyone with more than 10 convictions would be a good start.

    I think we do have to invest in people.


    Schools in impoverished areas have zero space zero facilities for sports etc. They are so cramped. (I know I went to one zero space for playing you have to stay indoors all the time)

    NO WAY REALLY- Id of never gathered that from the first 2 sentences.

    The CEO of Peter McVerrys trust is on 100k a YEAR!!!

    Nothing else to say really.

    Do you know how much an average CEO makes? I think not. 100k is not an inordinate sum for a job like that at all.

    Really? If you'd said twice that amount I wouldn't be shocked. What's their budget and employee numbers? Someone else mentioned they employ thousands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,215 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    I think employing thousands and saving thousands at the same time is like win win!

    I think this has backfired for that poster.

    What would a CEO of an efficiently run charity in receipt of millions of euro expected to be on? 100k seems modest/ fair.

    Well the poster was just expressing his opinion that's fine.

    I just think its great when people can succeed and do well in life and help others at the same time :)

    Scum like this this guy don't change, they just play the system to get a shorter scentence.

    As for McVerry he is a guy who has nothing relevant to say anymore but yet he just won't go away and retire somehwere out of the way.

    Read back the thread for some examples of people overcoming addiction and completely changing their lives. People can and do change.

    Yeah, it's not like homelessness is even an issue anymore? WHY WON'T HE STOP DOING GOOD?

    Well as a priest he shouldn’t even get near that amount.
    He’s either one or the other in my book, priest or businessman.

    Nothing else to say really.

    How much should someone who runs a company which has a turn over of €30 million, millions of euros in assets, serves several thousand people every week and employs over 800 staff be paid?
    The CEO has overseen significant growth since then and in 2018, Peter McVerry Trust worked with over 5,800 people. The charity has over 300 properties and growing, it now provides over 1,600 residential placements per night and its operating budget for 2019 will be over €30 million.

    There are no top-ups paid to the CEO, senior management team or indeed any Peter McVerry Trust staff member. The CEO’s salary is in line with HSE pay scales and is aligned to point 4 for a HSE Director Regional Health Officer post under the Lansdowne Road Agreement. Peter McVerry Trust does not pay health insurance or provide the CEO with a company car nor is a fuel card provided.

    Remember, the government sets the payscale for organisations like PMVT. The scale is pegged in line with HSE payscales at the same level, but doesn't include public service pay benefits and tax breaks, but PMVT do have to attract the best staff possible from the private sector.

    How much do you think the CEO of a private company with similar turnover, staffing levels, assets, and client base would make?


    Why should people who work for non-profits not be paid competitive wages? Or should we just make non-profits and charities hire the people willing to do the job cheapest and end up with the worst possible outcomes?

    Remember, these organisations only exist because of the abject failure of the State to provide essential services for homeless people in the first place.

    Fr. Peter McVerry is not the CEO of PMVT.

    Sadly, that's not true. Most rehab staff are badly paid, though the companies that run the rehabs do earn enormous amounts of money:
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EKMAC4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

    talks about this. And this book (among others) takes AA to task as bad science (I wouldn't go that far - it's completely faith-based and non-scientific.)
