Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
882. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide, in tabular form, a breakdown of the fees and expenses paid to each member of each State board, to include the chair and board members, and the number of members on each State board under the aegis of his Department. [34517/13]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the information sought regarding fees, expenses and the number of members on State boards under the aegis of my Department are detailed in the following tables.
The Deputy should note that I have interpreted the Deputy's question as embracing all bodies called Boards, irrespective of their functions, as well as other bodies with a governance remit whose title does not include the term "Board". In addition, I have provided details of the fees-payable to each board member, irrespective of whether the board member has waived their entitlement or is a civil-public servant. The fees categories referred to are as follows.
