At report in the Irish Independent today claims that workers at the company's Grand Canal offices in Dublin earn €94,590 on average (or £72,783), compared to around €207,884 (or £160,000) paid to their London colleagues. 
 
This is despite the fact that Google's employees in the UK are generally tasked with supporting the work of the company's Irish team. 
 
Referencing figures from the Google's latest accounts, which were revealed ahead of a UK Parliament Public Accounts Committee meeting this week, the Irish Independent reports that Google Ireland's three directors were paid a combined sum of €1.64m (or £1.265) in 2014.

This is despite the fact that the business has sales of €18.3bn, which makes up one-third of the company's global sales. Google Ireland booked £5bn worth of sales from UK advertisers in 2015, but it paid no tax in Britain.
