Manifest's request for global shareholders to have a "Say on Pay" at Irish companies has its first success; DCC Group plc has confirmed that they will be allowing a shareholder vote on the directors remuneration report at this summer's AGM. It is understood that this will be proposed as a management-sponsored resolution which is greatly welcomed and we hope will encourage other companies to do likewise.

The Irish media has responded positively with coverge in the FT,  Irish Times, RTE Business and Business & Leadership.

RTE's regular Sunday Business programme also featured an interview with Research Manager, Alan Brett.
