Information in respect of the number of semi-State agency executives and employees that have salaries of more than €100,000 per year, including any additional allowances and bonuses are included in the table.

As matters relating to pay and pensions are an administration matter for the bodies themselves the information requested by the Deputy in respect of the annual cost to the exchequer of any pension packages to such employees in terms of tax relief or other costs is not collated centrally. It is the case, however, that Civil servants employed in agencies under the aegis of the Department have their pensions calculated in accordance with Circular 33/2007.

- The Civil Service Superannuation Schemes. The Schemes can be viewed on the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform's website.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 94 and 95 together.

I can confirm, in respect of FÁS, 3 former members of staff are in receipt of pensions in excess of €90,000 per annum. Details of non commercial state agencies under the remit of my Department can be downloaded from my Department's website.
