Kenny: Collier’s AIB role ‘not good practice’

THE Taoiseach said it was “not good practice” that Declan Collier is on the remuneration committee of AIB following controversy over his €100,000 bonus as head of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).

But despite failing to give a comprehensive endorsement of his position as public interest director in the state-supported bank, the Government said there is no question of removing him.

A number of semi-state bosses informed the Government they would be sacrificing their bonuses for last year and this year, including RTÉ, TG4, ESB, An Post and Bord Gáis.
