I propose to take Questions Nos. 26 to 28, inclusive, and 47 together.

As I stated in a reply to a question on this matter yesterday (ref. 27136/11 of 4 October 2011), no decision has been made on the matter. As the Taoiseach, indicated in the Dáil last week, I, as Minister for Finance, will consider the matter having regard to the existing policy and bring any proposal to Government for decision.

A review of remuneration policies and practices by each of the covered institutions is ongoing. I fully recognise that there is a real public interest in the levels of remuneration at the covered institutions and I will endeavour to have this completed in the shortest timeframe possible with a view to putting the information into the public domain.
