I would like to inform the Deputy there are four agencies which are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote. These are the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI); the Family Support Agency (FSA); the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) and the Ombudsman for Children's Office (OCO). With effect from 1 January 2012, I have taken responsibility for the Children Detention Schools as provided in Part 10 of the Children Act 2001.

I have set out in tabular format below the current annual salaries payable to the Chief Executive Officers of non commercial State sponsored bodies under the aegis of my Department.

I can confirm that based on the CEO salaries as set out beneath there would be an annual saving of €25,795.20 if the salaries were to be reduced by 10%.

*The current interim CEO is a retired civil servant and voluntarily agreed to abate his salary.
