I propose to take Questions Nos. 1235 and 1236 together.
The details of the salaries of the Chief Executive Officers of the Non Commercial State Bodies and the Commercial State Bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are outlined in the following table. Some of the State Bodies are self-financing and therefore a salary reduction does not result in a saving to the exchequer.
Non-Commercial State Bodies
| Body/Agency | Salary | 10 % Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| An Bord Bia | €149,175.00 | €14,917.50 |
| Bord Iascaigh Mhara | €121,151.04 | €12,115.10 |
| Marine Institute | €136,496.00 | €13,649.60 |
