Section (18)(1) of the Leopardstown Park Hospital Board (Establishment) Order, 1979 explicitly rules out any remuneration for a person acting as a Member of the Board. I am aware of a number of requests for remuneration to be paid in this case. My Department is examining the matter, but any decision to pay remuneration would require legislative change.
