Question 72: To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if a revised salary scale and cap for chief executives and senior managers of State agencies is being considered in his rationalisation of the sector. [3800/12]

I only as recently as June last year announced the introduction of general pay ceilings of:

€200,000 for future appointments to higher positions across the public service;

€250,000 for future appointments to CEO posts within Commercial State Companies.

I have no plans to revise this general pay ceiling.

CEO posts in Non Commercial State Agencies are generally filled by way of fixed-term contracts. If the employment of a CEO is terminated as a result of the rationalisation of State Agencies, the individual may be offered alternative employment for any unexpired period of their fixed-term contract.
