Shire faces fresh criticism over CEO pay in crunch week

Drugs firm Shire, which employs hundreds of people between its Co Meath campus and at its head offices in central Dublin, faces fresh criticism over its executive pay policy from a leading investor advisory group as a crunch week approaches.

Shareholders will vote on pay and other matters at Shire’s AGM on Tuesday, a day before Japan’s Takeda must decide whether it will make a takeover bid.
