The information sought by the Deputy regarding payments to staff by commercial semi-State companies is an operational matter for each company.

My Department works within the guidelines set out by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to remuneration levels of Chief Executive Officers in the State Bodies under the aegis of my Department.

However, the structure of remuneration for staff of different commercial state companies is a matter for the respective boards and CEOs of these companies.
