by health organisations.

The CEO of Rehab appeared before the Irish Dail’s public accounts committee yesterday
to answer questions about the level of her salary.

Nearly all the charities on the list receive significant public funding as well 
as raising funds from the public. For the most part, public funding is the largest
percentage of the organisations’ income.

Development charity Concern Worldwide appears sixth on the list (income €160 million).
Also on the list is Goal with an income €61 million.
