Coillte CEO on 300k a Year!

It has emerged that forestry body Coillte is the only semi-State agency to resist the Government's request for a 15% pay cut at the top.

Coillte chief executive David Gunning was paid a salary of €297,000 in 2010.

No doubt he will be due a pay rise with all the trees he chopped and shipped to the UK for incineration in 2011.
