Staff earning over €100k at state agency falls due to ‘natural attrition’

The number of high-fliers at Enterprise Ireland earning over €100,000 stood at 18 in 2014, figures show.

Numbers released by the development agency in response to a Freedom of Information request show Enterprise Ireland employs one person earning between €150,000 and €200,000, with an additional 17 earning between €100,000 and €150,000.

The agency said 16 of the staff earning between €100,000 and €150,000 are based in Ireland with the 17th based in China. The 18 earning more than €100,000 at the agency compares to 14 in that bracket at the IDA.
