The Department of Transport has 18 agencies in total, 12 commercial and 6 non-commercial which have either a CEO or Commissioner running the organisation.
All CEO/Commissioner contracts under the aegis of my Department have terms and conditions based on sanction received from the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. No CEO receives a free car; as part of their contract some CEOs may have the use of a company car and I expect that all CEOs appointed by me discharge their taxation requirements in keeping with the Office of the Revenue Commissioner standards.
Terms and conditions of employment in relation to other senior staff of the State bodies under my remit are the responsibility of the bodies and I have referred your question to them for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
