CRH chief’s pay falls to €2.54m

CRH paid chief executive Myles Lee just under €2.54m last year, nearly 6% less than in the previous year.

However, the Dublin-headquartered internat-ional building materials giant’s latest annual report, published yesterday, shows that overall directors’ pay remained largely unchanged, with 15 executive and non-executive directors sharing about €8m in remuneration, as was the case in 2011.

Mr Lee, who is set to retire at the end of this year, received a total package of €2.536m last year, down by about 5.6% on the near €2.7m he received in 2011.
