*These are the annual board fees payable to Chairpersons and Members of the different categories of State Bodies as set down by the nister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

Competition Authority

The Authority does not have a typical board. Pursuant to the Competition Act, 2002, an executive board of Members of the Competition Authority are employed as salaried Members. The Act provides that there shall be at least 3 and no more than 5 Members of the Authority appointed by the nister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation following a competition held by the Civil Service Commissioners under the Civil Service Commissioners Act, 1956.

County and City Enterprise Boards

There are 35 County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs), each of which is an individual company limited by guarantee and appointment to their Boards is effected by ordinary resolution of the Boards of Directors, as set out in the Articles of Association of each Board. Neither the nister nor the Department has a role in the nomination or appointment of CEB Board members. The average number of Board members on each Board is 14 and all members serve in a voluntary and unpaid capacity.

Intertrade Ireland

InterTradeIreland (ITI) is a North/South Implementation body, set up under the Good Friday Agreement. ITI is jointly funded by this Department and its Northern Ireland counterpart, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, on a 2 : 1 ratio respectively. ITI's Chairman and Board Members are nominated by the two sponsoring nisters, 6 from the North and 6 from the South, and appointed by the North South nisterial Council Joint Secretariat.

The fees are as follows:

Chairperson - €10,882 per annum

Vice Chair - €13,142 per annum

Member - €6,996 - €10,285
