IMO meeting to consider ex-chief’s retirement pay

A war of words has broken out between the Irish Medical Organisation and some of its members over how the union will examine concerns about its ex-CEO’s €9.7m retirement package.

An emergency general meeting will take place in Dublin today following a furious reaction in recent months to news of the mammoth payout to former CEO George McNeice.

The meeting was organised after doctors obtained 123 signatures from members seeking a high-profile debate on how the retirement package was reached.
