* Due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply a breakdown of the numbers at consultant level in the HSE in the time available. This data will be supplied to the Deputy when the detailed information comes to hand.
Remuneration rates in the Central Bank Financial Services Authority of Ireland are solely a matter for the Board of the Bank and the Authority to determine while the remuneration packages of all National Treasury Management Authority staff (which includes the staff of the National Asset Management Authority) are negotiated on an individual contract basis and are confidential. With the exception of the posts of Chief Executive Officer, I have no role in determining the salary rates of employees in the commercial State bodies.
