The Annual Reports of the companies contain details of CEOs’ salaries, including changes made to reflect new appointments, changes in roles and responsibilities of these organisations over time, and assignment of new functions. The Annual Reports are generally available on-line at each bodies website and the library of the House.

Pensions are negotiated on a case by case basis between the relevant company and the CEO as part of the new contract, in accordance with the Guidelines on contracts, remuneration and other conditions of Chief Executives and senior management of Commercial State Bodies, subject to statutory provision for the approval of remuneration and terms by Ministers and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
