Members of Amnesty International Ireland have unanimously voted down a motion to reduce the salary of it's Executive Director.

The proposal wanted Colm O' Gorman's salary reduced from 99 to 35 thousand euro - in line with the average Amnesty worker.

The organisation is funded by its members and does NOT receive financial support from the state.

Speaking after the vote, Kieran O' Sullivan, the member who put forward the change said he was disappointed by the outcome.
