The scheme for performance-related awards in the Civil Service applies to Deputy and Assistant Secretaries and equivalent grades. Details of awards to individual officers under the performance-related scheme are not disclosed on the basis that they are confidential to the officer concerned. However I can say that during 2007 awards totalling €64,000 were made to 5 officers in my Department in respect of 2006 (as shown in the Committee for Performance Awards report for 2006).

With regard to the Agencies of my Department, details where applicable are as follows:

Commission for Aviation Regulation: €6,000

National Roads Authority: €34,591

Road Safety Authority: €22,443.

Staff remuneration in Commercial State bodies is a day-to-day matter for each body.
