The payment of performance related pay is a matter for the Boards of the State agencies concerned. However, the operation of performance-related award schemes for Chief Executive Officers in the public bodies is currently being reviewed by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Pending the outcome of the Review, the Government has made its policy clear that such bonuses should not be paid to Chief Executive Officers. Full details of all CEO remuneration is available from the annual report of the relevant agency. My Department does not have the information requested by the Deputy in relation to the other staff in these agencies. I have, however, forwarded your request to the agencies under the remit of my Department for direct reply to you. If you do not hear within ten working days please contact my private office.

Details of CEO remuneration and commencement of service are available from the relevant annual reports of the port companies. Contracts with CEOs are normally concluded on the basis of an initial term and a maximum duration (usually 7 years). The total term served depends on the Board of the company and on the CEO meeting performance standards which are set and evaluated by the Board.
