89. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the annual saving to his Department and the bodies under its aegis if all the fees for all State agency, non-commercial State sponsored bodies and commercial semi-State board members were reduced by 25%. [26615/15]

In response to the Deputy's question the following table outlines the potential annual savings to the Exchequer if board members fees were reduced by 25%.

The non-commercial State sponsored bodies under my remit are the Special European Union Programmes Body (SEUPB) and the Institute of Public Administration. SEUPB does not have a board and the IPA do not pay board fees. There are no commercial semi-state bodies under my remit.

I understand that the OPW will respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
