FIFTY FATCAT BANKERS NET €86MILLION...

One executive took home 6m pay in single year

ONE fatcat banker in Ireland was paid over €6million last year, while another 48 top executives were paid at least €1million each. 

A report found under 50 top executives working for financial institutions in this country were paid a total of €86million between them in 2021.

But the public is not allowed to find out who the bankers are, as the information from the European Banking Authority does not identify the individuals or the companies they work for.

The EBA’s report disclosed that 48 bankers working for financial organisations in this country were paid more than €1million in 2021.

Most of these high earners were employed in investment banking and collectively were paid more than €86million.
