911. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Arts; Heritage and the Gaeltacht the total number of board appointees he has made since he came to office; the names, salaries and expenses of each; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37351/12]
View answerThe information sought by the Deputy is outlined in the table below. It should be noted that public servants listed below who are acting as chairpersons or directors of state-sponsored bodies do not receive additional remuneration for undertaking such duties. In addition, a number of board members have opted to waive their fees. In relation to the expenses claimed by members of the Boards, I am advised by the bodies listed below that any claim for travel and subsistence submitted by members of Boards is paid directly by the bodies in question and is in accordance with the rules and regulations set down by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
