Rewarding senior bankers

Sir, – Bank of Ireland chief executive Richie Boucher is far too hard on himself in defending his €843,000 salary ("Bank of Ireland chief defends hard line on debt forgiveness", Front Page, May 9th). "There will be some people . . . who if I got paid sixpence would say it's too much", he says. I should think that many people would be of the view that sixpence is just about right. – Yours, etc,
