In accordance with Government policy, no bonus payments are being made to any Chief Executive of any of the State harbour companies.

In accordance with the One Person One Salary direction issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in late 2011, payment of Board Fees to public sector employees with a contractual obligation in place, with certain exceptions, can be paid but should be stopped at the earliest legally acceptable opportunity (normally on expiry of the appointment).Details of directors fees paid to Chief Executives are available in the Annual Reports and Accounts of the individual harbour companies.
