The Secretary General's salary is €200,000 after the deduction of a voluntary waiver which he has made. Officers are entitled to claim delegates allowance for attendance at meetings abroad. The Aeronautical Officer posts attract a 24 hour/365 day on call allowance of €6,744 per annum. When pension levy, tax and other statutory deductions are taken into account, the net sum received by each individual does not exceed €100,000.
