One of the first actions I took as Minister in 2011 was to inform all Chairpersons and CEOs under my remit that, in line with Government policy, no bonuses would be paid. I can confirm that no bonuses have been paid to the CEOs of the State companies under the remit of my Department in respect of performance for 2011 onwards.  

I have already been in contact with all the State companies under the remit of my Department seeking information on bonus payments paid to staff. I will provide this information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
