The Government has made it clear to all State Agencies that performance-related bonuses in respect of chief executives are not appropriate and should not be paid in the current economic circumstances. I reiterated this point to the Chairpersons and Chief Executives of the agencies under my aegis when I met them in April of this year.
The full details of the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration is available in the Dublin Airport annual reports. I can confirm that no bonuses have been paid to the Chief Executive Officer in respect of 2010 or 2011 performance. The payment of performance related pay to other senior management is a matter for the agency itself. I have forwarded the Deputy's question to Dublin Airport Authority. If the Deputy does not receive a reply within ten working days, please advise my private office.
