I refer to my reply to the Deputy to Questions Nos. 39, 43 and 45, taken together, on 5 July 2011. The estimate of the net savings accruing to the Exchequer of less than €100 million p.a. arising from the imposition of a cap of €100,000 on public service salaries includes those employed in non-commercial State bodies, although it is not possible to provide a breakdown specifically in respect of those staff.
