Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
1273. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the full year saving to the Exchequer if all non-commercial State sponsored bodies CEO salaries under the aegis of her Department were reduced by 10%; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39267/13]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy there are four agencies which are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote. These are the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI); the Family Support Agency (FSA); the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) and the Ombudsman for Children's Office (OCO). With effect from 1 January 2012, I have taken responsibility for the Children Detention Schools as provided in Part 10 of the Children Act 2001.
I have set out in tabular format below the current annual salaries payable to the Chief Executive Officers of non commercial State sponsored bodies under the aegis of my Department.
I can confirm that based on the CEO salaries as set out beneath there would be an annual saving of €25,795.20 if the salaries were to be reduced by 10%.
