The tables outline the remuneration for Chief Executive Officers/equivalents in respect of State Agencies/Bodies under the aegis of my Department as sanctioned by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
Chief Executive Officers/equivalents, may submit claims in respect of travel and subsistence expenses, incurred as part of their official duties, in accordance with the appropriate travel and subsistence guidelines.
The chief executive officers/equivalents in agencies/bodies under the aegis of my Department do not receive bonus payments.
The pension entitlements of chief executive officers/equivalents are set out in each agency pension scheme, which is subject to prior approval by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
In October 2011, I announced further measures in relation to my Department's agency rationalisation programme with the overall number of agencies being reduced from 21 to 12.
Overall, estimated savings in the order of €1.9 million have been achieved to date in the agency rationalisation process and I anticipate that this should rise significantly. Agency staff numbers are targeted to fall to 712 by 2015 as compared to 951 at the end of 2008 – a reduction of 239 (25%). Non-PPC Rates*:
