* Mr. G. T. P. Conlan (CIE) and Mr. M. Dully (BFE) operate as full-time Executive Chairmen of the bodies concerned. Separate fees are paid to them as members of the boards.

† The normal fee for the Chairman of An Post is £2,400. However, as an exceptional measure sanction was given to An Post in July 1991 for the payment of a gratuity of £7,600 to the current Chairman of An Post for year ending 15 February 1991 bringing the total fee for the year to £10,000 and for a total fee of £25,000 for one year ending 1 May 1992, when the matter will be reviewed. The sanction took account of the major executive input of the Chairman in relation to the reorganisation of An Post.
