Hospital CEO’s wage warning

The situation, which means the HSE has threatened to stop paying the senior official’s €136,282 public salary over the affair, emerged after a three-and-a-half hour hospital board meeting yesterday.
Under drastic plans agreed in principle but unlikely to be ratified until early next week, St Vincent’s has been told the taxpayer-funded salary for current group CEO Nicky Jermyn will cease if the €156,587 in extra top-ups do not stop.
