I am reviewing premium pay and performance-related pay and I do not have a closed mind. For some, the idea of performance-related pay or bonuses is entirely acceptable in the private sphere but unacceptable in the public sphere. I do not subscribe to that idea. It is not appropriate in the Civil Service but there may be some commercial companies where performance-related pay is worth examining. In that context, I am reviewing performance-related pay generally.

I can provide the Deputy with the pay rates that currently apply to every State agency in written form. The pay rate for the new chief executive of Irish Water has not been determined but, as of now, it will sit under the stewardship of the infrastructure in place of Bord Gáis Éireann.
