756. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide details of the payment of bonuses or other performance related payments and or allowances made to the staff of agencies under the aegis of his Department with a yearly breakdown from 2008 outlining the overall amount paid in each year period and the number of staff that received such payments and or allowances.

View answer757. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide details of payments made to the CEO or equivalent of all agencies under the aegis of his Department including details of any bonuses, pension entitlements or any other remuneration paid to him or her in 2012. [10190/13]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 756 and 757 together.
The detailed information requested by the Deputy regarding CEO remuneration is available in the annual report and accounts of each agency. I can confirm, however, that in the light of stated Government policy no bonuses were paid to the CEOs of the agencies under the remit of my Department in respect of 2012.
The remuneration of staff other than the CEO is a matter for the agencies themselves. I have referred the Deputy's question to the agencies for direct reply on this and also on CEO remuneration for 2012 as the annual reports for that year have yet to be published. If you do not receive a reply within ten working days please contact my private office.
