The scheme of performance-related awards in the civil service applies to Deputy and Assistant Secretaries and equivalent grades only.
On the basis that the awards are confidential to the officer concerned details of individual awards are not disclosed nor is the total amount awarded under the scheme made known in respect of Departments where there are less than 5 officers covered by the scheme which would allow them to be identified, which is the case in my Department. Details of the operation of the scheme are available in the report of the Committee for Performance Awards which can be accessed on the website of the Department of Finance at www.finance.gov.ie/documents/ publications/reports/CPArep2006.pdf.
The payment of performance related awards to staff in agencies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the relevant agency.
