Photograph: Collins CourtsKenny Jacobs will receive a sum in the region of €480,000 from DAA after standing down as chief executive. Jacobs went to the High Court in January, claiming the board of DAA was objectively biased against him as he sought reinstatement and to block the investigation. However, the Minister’s spokeswoman had no comment when asked whether he had ordered any report from DAA on the legal bills. Although Jacobs was to leave his DAA post on January 3rd under that arrangement, he would have remained on the company payroll until March.
