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.

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.
