Former CRC chief pays back extra salary
Brian Conlon, who quit on Monday, was appointed in July on a salary of €125,000, over €40,000 above HSE guidelines. He was paid at that level until Oct 1 when he asked the CRC board to lower his pay to €83,252 — the amount approved by the HSE.
Last night, a spokesman for Mr Conlon confirmed to the Irish Examiner that Mr Conlon had written a cheque yesterday to the HSE for the net difference for the three months.
