Doctors to vent fury over €10m deal for outgoing chief

Hundreds of doctors are expected next weekend to express their anger at a €10m pension payout to their union’s outgoing chief executive.

Members of the Irish Medical Organisation have been invited to a special meeting at the Mullingar Park Hotel in the wake of revelations that the organisation’s outgoing chief executive, George McNeice, is to receive payments totalling almost €10m as part of his retirement deal.

The meeting has been organised by IMO president Dr Paul McKeown who expressed his anger at the nature of the deal in a pre-Christmas letter to the union’s 5,000-plus members.
