Paddy Power directors see total pay fall by nearly 2%

Total director pay at leading gaming and betting services company Paddy Power fell by nearly 2% last year, despite the firm seeing continued strong operational and financial progress.

The Dublin company’s 13-strong board, including executive and non-executive members, shared a paypot of just over €5.54m in 2013; nearly 1.8% down on the €5.64m that was paid out in 2012.

The overall figures also include the value of director shares, as part of the company’s long-term incentive plan.
