Bruton insists Appleby not paid more in extension deal

Paul Appleby did not get anything above what he was entitled to in an agreement with Government to stay on as Director of Corporate Enforcement, according Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton.

Mr Appleby secured a lump sum payment of €225,000 and an annual pension of €73,000 by availing of the Government’s early retirement scheme in February.

He agreed to stay on as acting director of corporate enforcement for six months until a replacement was found to oversee the office’s inquiry into Anglo Irish Bank.
