1204. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will confirm that in line with the one-person one-salary principle, no public servant who is a member of a State board or agency under the control of his department is currently in receipt of remuneration in the form of board fees and if any such remuneration is being paid that such payment will be discontinued and payments that were wrongfully paid will be reclaimed.

​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).    The payment of board fees is a matter for the individual state agency.  All state agencies under my Department's remit have been advised of the One Person One Salary principle.  Details of board fee payments are available in the Annual Report and Accounts of the Agencies.
