Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

On foot of the Deputy's request, I will look at this issue. There are four bands, or categories, depending on complexity. In the non-commercial State bodies the bands range from the top end - the more complicated and larger agencies - in which the fee per board member is €14,963 to the bottom end - the less complicated agencies - where the fee is €5,985. If the Deputy, or any Deputy, has any suggestions to make regarding the current structure, I will consider them in the review.
