CRH chief executive Albert Manifold’s total pay packet last year rose by 20 per cent to €11.2 million, among the highest annual earnings ever awarded to an Irish corporate executive. Mr Manifold was paid 166 times the average salary of a CRH worker last year, up from 145 times in 2019. The CRH chief executive is in line for a 2.75 per cent increase on his base pay for 2021, while CRH staff across the group are to get a 3 per cent increase. In 2019, the average CRH employee was paid $76,684 (€64,149), with Mr Manifold receiving 145 times this. Mr Manifold’s 2020 pay of €11.2 million is a multiple of most other Irish-based chief executives.
