525. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the full year saving to the Exchequer if all salaries of the CEOs of non-commercial State sponsored bodies under the aegis of his Department were reduced by 10%; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39273/13]

The table shows the post-1 July 2013 annual salary for the CEOs of the Non-Commercial State-Sponsored Bodies under my Department’s remit and identifies the savings that would arise from a 10% cut in the salary of each. The individual salary of each of the 35 City and County Enterprise Boards (CEBs) CEOs was not immediately available to me in the time provided to answer the Deputy’s Question. However, I can confirm that each CEB CEO would earn between €65,000 and €86,254.

*The CEO of Shannon Airport Authority is currently fulfilling the duties of CEO of Shannon Development so there is currently no CEO salary being paid by Shannon Development.
**InterTradeIreland is based in Newry, Co Down - its operating currency is sterling.
*** The Head of the Competition Authority is titled Chairman rather than CEO as is the case for the Department’s other Non Commercial State-Sponsored Bodies.

526. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the full year saving to the Exchequer if all State agency board members' fees, non-commercial State sponsored bodies and commercial semi-State companies under the aegis of his Department were reduced by 25%; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The table lists the fees for the Chairperson and Members, for each Board under the aegis of my Department. The Deputy should note that in some cases members may have opted to waive their fees, some members will be subject to the ‘one person one salary’ principle and others are Department nominees at official level who are not entitled to fees and vacancies will exist on various boards from time to time.
The individual amounts paid to each member in board fees are a day to day matter for the respective Agencies. I have asked the Agencies to respond directly to the Deputy.
