Q. So charities are feeling the pinch?
ed from a financial survey of 40 of the country's leading charities by the Irish Independent.
With donations falling and services being cut due to funding constraints, executive salaries remain under the microscope.
The highest-paid executive from the charitable organisations examined by the Irish Independent was Rehab Group's Angela Kerins, whose most recent disclosed salary was €234,000, funded from commercial earnings rather than public funds.
Other well-paid charity bosses were Fionnuala O'Donovan of Enable Ireland on €145,679, a decrease of over €10,000 on last year, and John McCormack of the Irish Cancer Society on €145,000.
But our survey found that in the majority of cases, Irish charity bosses have fared poorly in the pay stakes compared to their counterparts in the UK, many of whom have suffered criticism in recent months over pay hikes. In contrast, only four of the charity bosses surveyed got salary hikes in Ireland and for the most part pay packages either remained static or have fallen in recent years.
Staff in most organisations have also suffered pay cuts, reduced conditions or changes to their pensions.
The largest cut came for Concern boss Dominic McSorley, whose €99,000 is €33,000 less than the figure earned by previous CEO Tom Arnold in 2012.
Cope Foundation chief executive Colette Kelleher took a pay cut of €8,400 this year, bringing her salary down from €130,000 to €121,600.
Amnesty International's Colm O'Gorman took a €9,200 pay cut this year, bringing his salary down to €110,099.
Former junior minister Barry Andrews, who took over as chief executive of GOAL from John O'Shea, came in on a lower salary of €95,000 compared to Mr O'Shea's €98,300 in 2012.
Several charities said they had cut staff pay in recent years.
These included Age Action (5pc across the board), Barrettstown (3-5pc), Bothar (10pc), Concern (5-10pc), the Cope Foundation and Enable Ireland (cuts linked to public sector), Inclusion Ireland (5-10pc), Irish Guidedogs for the Blind (5pc), the ISPCC (5pc), the Marie Keating Foundation (5-10pc), National Council for the Blind (7pc), Oxfam (up to 10pc) and Trocaire (up to 10pc).
