Mr. Sweetman

asked the Taoiseach if, in respect of each State-sponsored body, company or other organisation for which he is responsible or in respect of which he has any right to select or appoint a director, he will state (1) the name of any director or equivalent officer selected by him, the respective dates on which each such person was first and last so selected, the annual remuneration now paid to each such person and the total amount of the remuneration paid to each such person since first appointment to date; and (2) the name of the auditor, the first date on which each was appointed, the present annual remuneration and the total remuneration paid to such auditor since original appointment.

The Taoiseach

By virtue of section 6 (2) of the Arts Act, 1951, the Comptroller and Auditor General is the auditor to An Chomhairle Ealaíon. As such, he receives no remuneration.

46.

Mr. Sweetman

asked the Minister for External Affairs if, in respect of each State-sponsored body, company or other organisation for which he is responsible or in respect of which he has any right to select or appoint a director, he will state (1) the name of any director or equivalent officer selected by him, the respective dates on which each such person was first and last so selected, the annual remuneration now paid to each such person and the total amount of the remuneration paid to each such person since first appointment to date; and (2) the name of the auditor, the first date on which each was appointed, the present annual remuneration and the total remuneration paid to such auditor since original appointment.

Minister for External Affairs (Mr. Aiken)

There is no State-sponsored body, company or other organisation for which I am responsible or in respect of which I have the right to select or appoint a director or equivalent officer. The remainder of the Deputy's question does not therefore arise.

47.
