I propose to take Questions Nos. 1158, 1160 and 1166 together.

The details of the remuneration packages of the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), or equivalents, of the agencies under the aegis of the Department are as set out in tabular form below.

In addition, the Department of Arts Sport and Tourism and the Northern Ireland Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment are sponsor Departments for Tourism Ireland. The remuneration and other conditions and terms of service of the CEO of Tourism Ireland are determined by the Board of the Company, with the approval of the North-South Ministerial Council and the respective Finance Ministers.

In respect of the agencies under the aegis of the Department whose remuneration includes bonuses, decisions to award payments in any instance are not made by me as Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism but, rather, by the boards of the agencies concerned, subject to the terms and criteria contained in the associated remuneration schemes agreed with the CEOs or equivalents, being met.
