View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 73 to 75, inclusive, together.
I am informed by the National Treasury Management Agency that the Agency's remuneration review in respect of 2011 is currently being finalised. Last December I wrote to the NTMA Chief Executive asking him to ask all NTMA employees whose salary exceeds €200,000 to consider waiving at least 15% of salary or such amount of salary as exceeds €200,000. The Chief Executive replied that he and the CEO of NAMA would waive 15% of their salaries and that he had circulated my letter to the other NTMA employees concerned asking them to respond to him on the matter.
The total number of NTMA employees at end-2011 is set out in the table below:
