The IFA has revamped its remuneration committee. The new structure will be chaired by the national treasurer, currently Jer Bergin.

He will be joined by the president, Eddie Downey, and two additional nominees from the IFA’s executive board. These are deputy president Tim O’Leary and former Glanbia CEO John Maloney.

The remuneration committee will set the pay for the organisation’s general secretary, Pat Smith. It will also agree the terms of compensation for the sitting president for fulfilling what is a full-time position. The president will not be a party to this aspect of the committee’s functions.
