$2.25m pay pot for 12 O’Brien staff

Twelve staff at Denis O’Brien’s Dublin-based aircraft leasing business, Aergo Capital last year shared a pay pot of $2.25m (€1.7m), or on average $187,750 (€141,452) each.

Pay for staff at Aergo Capital Ltd last year increased from $1.986m to $2.22m in spite of revenues and profits tumbling.

Accounts just filed with the Companies Office show that pre-tax profits last year declined sharply from $6m to $376,000.
