12 Rehab staff paid salaries of over €100k

Salaries amounting to more than €100,000 were paid to 12 senior staff members at the Rehab Group last year, with many also given generous perks including company cars and bonuses of up to €14,000.

The details were released in a statement from the disability group last night and form part of the information it has provided to the Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee, which is examining how it spends €83m in State funding.

The figures show that 77 staff earn salaries of more than €65,000 — which is considered a “Grade 8” pay scale under Government pay scales, and therefore must be disclosed to the HSE by all agencies with which it has service level agreements.
