I can inform the Deputy that the following State Bodies under the aegis of my Department are affected by the recent increase in non-executive Chairpersons' fees:
Private Security Authority
National Disability Authority
Equality Authority
Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime
Internet Advisory Board
Land Registry and Registry of Deeds
Legal Aid Board
Garda Síochána Complaints Board
Parole Board
The Deputy may also wish to note that, although the Children's Act Monitoring Committee is one of the bodies listed in the recent Department of Finance circular on this subject, the Committee is currently chaired by an Assistant Garda Commissioner, who does not receive additional remuneration for this role. Similarly, the Courts Service, although listed as one of the bodies affected, is chaired by the Chief Justice, who also does not receive additional remuneration for this role.
