I assume that the Deputy is referring to payments under the high level scheme of performance-related awards in Semi-State or Non-Commercial State-Sponsored Bodies under the aegis of my Department. There is only one such body, the Legal Aid Board, and awards were made to its Chief Executive in 2008 in respect of 2007 and in 2007 in respect of 2006. No awards were made in respect of 2008 or 2009. Details of individual awards made under the scheme are not disclosed on the basis that they are confidential to the individuals concerned.
