Myles Lee, who retired as CRH's chief executive officer in 2013, received a 64 per cent increase in compensation in his final year heading the biggest company on the Irish stock exchange.
Mr Lee received €4.163 million last year compared with €2.536 million in 2012, Dublin-based CRH said in an annual filing.
The payout included €1.6 million from a long-term incentive plan and almost €1 million in “retirement benefits” on top of his basic salary, the filing shows.
CRH increased total disclosed payouts to executive directors by more than 50 per cent for 2013.
