HSE Pension Payouts Reveal Top Earners | Cork News

from Cork News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

HSE paid out a record 212.5 million euro in pension lump sums last year — up 9% — as 3,555 staff retired, with top-earning consultants raking in massive payouts: one male general physician walked away with 502,420 euro, three consultants each took over 490,000 euro, and the top ten alone collected 4.5 million euro — eight of them men. While the average payout was 59,798 euro, these elite retirements skew the numbers, revealing the financial reality of senior staff exits. Add to that 673.76 million euro in ongoing pensions to 39,000 retirees, bringing total pension costs to an eye-watering 886.26 million euro.
