295. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will confirm that in line with the one person one salary principle, no public servant that 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.

Since November 2011, when the one person one salary (OPOS) principle came into force, it has been a requirement that public servants and public sector employees (with the exception of worker directors of commercial state bodies) who sit on state boards may not be paid board fees.

The agencies under the aegis of my Department are aware of this one person one salary policy being in force and the necessity to adhere to this requirement.
