Bord na Móna is a commercial State body under the aegis of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC). Bord na Móna is a body corporate and a separate legal entity to DECC.

The schedule for Bord na Mona's dividend payments to members of its employee share scheme is a matter for Bord na Móna, and not one in which I, as Minister, have a role.
