There are no staff in my Department whose remuneration arrangement is currently in excess of a benchmarking recommendation or a recommendation from the Review Body on Higher Remuneration.

In regard to the agencies under the aegis of my Department there is only one case where a personal remuneration arrangement is in place. This relates to the Chief Executive Officer of the National Sports Campus Development Authority who was appointed after the presentation of the most recent report of the Review Body on Higher Remuneration. The rate in question was agreed with the Department of Finance to reflect the skills set required for the post.
