Dr Tony Holohan’s €187,000 Trinity College salary to be paid for by Department of Health

DR TONY HOLOHAN will be paid by Department of Health when he takes up a new job as a professor in Trinity College Dublin later this year.

It was reported last month that Dr Holohan would be stepping down as the country’s Chief Medical Officer to take up the role as a Professor of Public Health Strategy and Leadership at TCD in July.

Recent reports show the CMO’s salary is around €187,000 per year.

A spokesperson for Trinity said the new post is an “open-ended secondment” funded by the Department of Health under the same terms as Dr Holohan’s existing contract.
