Tommy Tiernan still one of the best-paid entertainers in Ireland

New figures show Tommy Tiernan is still one of the best-paid entertainers in Ireland, with the comedian and wife and manager Yvonne sharing pay of €500,000 last year.

According to accounts recently filed by Tiernan’s company, Mabinog Ltd, the couple gave themselves a 29% pay increase in 2014, with their joint pay jumping from €373,399 to €497,252.

The new figures show that the hike in pay for the award-winning comedian did not have a large impact on the company’s cash pile, which decreased marginally from €271,462 to €253,032.
