Ex-CEO paid €200k lump sum from charity

A lump sum amounting to €200,000 was paid out of charitable donations to the former chief executive of the Central Remedial Clinic who retired in June.

Acting chairman Jim Nugent confirmed the payment to Paul Kiely was made using the clinic’s charitable arm, Friends and Supporters of the CRC, which collected a total of €2m last year.

Mr Kiely will also be entitled to a pension of around €98,000 in three years.
