Interesting Firefly but Mr O'Brien's figures are totally at variance with CSO published data which shows that average Public Sector is €48,126.52.
Mr O'Brien's average of approx €63,305 seems very high when you consider that it is estimated that 1 in 7 of PS employees will suffer arbitrary pay cuts under the putative CPA2 & the threshold is €65,000 - also I believe that stats show that 82 % of PS employees earn less than €60,000.

Can you post a link please?
I don't see thse figures in his piece. Has it been edited?
I think that comes from here

which in turn comes from here

However the figure is a mistake, he took the total pay+pensions number and divided by the WTE number of employees only.
Careless, but I think the PER could present the information better and be a bit less obviously trying to put a positive spin on the data.
God , I had to help you on on the number of pay cuts inflicted on the PS & then assist you on the % maximum pension for retirees - this time you can help yourself www.tui.ie
Well, looks like I wasn't too far of the mark afterall - from the paper of record no less....
"One in four teachers would be affected by a proposed 5 per cent cut in salaries over €65,000. "

Another 'good news story' from the Croke Park Agreement.....getting paid 12k for work you no longer do! That word so beloved of the PS/CS gets an airing also in the article...'entitled/entitlements'.
Why we had 33 VEC boards and therefore 33 Chief Execs on roughly 100k each is a whole other discussion

A High Court judge has ruled that the Minister for Education had no power to terminate a €12,500 annual allowance paid to two Vocational Education Committee chief executives.
The State had argued it was entitled to revoke the allowance as administering the school transport scheme had not been part of the role of chief executive for some two years.
The case was brought by Galway chief executive Seosamh Mac Donncha, a former GAA president, and Mayo chief executive Dr Katie Sweeney. They are on annual salaries of some €100,000 and claimed the axing of the allowance would affect their pension entitlements.
