Within the time available I have set out the largest bonus payments made to senior staff in my Department and in each of the agencies within its ambit that operate a bonus scheme.

During 2007 overall awards totalling €38,400 were made to 3 Assistant Secretaries in my Department in respect of 2006. Details of the operation of this 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 the following link: http://www.finance.gov.ie/documents/publications/ reports/CPArep2006.pdf

The other awards above are in respect of individuals in the public bodies indicated.
