Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 October 2013
129. Deputy Joe Higgins asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the number of public servants in his Department who are paid in excess of the Taoiseach's salary and in excess of the Government's pay cap; the annual cost of these excess payments in the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43392/13]
View answerThere are no employees in my Department who are paid in excess of the Taoiseach's salary or in excess of the Government's pay cap. In June 2011, the Government set pay rates for newly appointed CEOs to Commercial Semi State Companies. This information is available on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform website at www.per.gov.ie. All directions issued by the Government in relation to remuneration of CEOs in non-commercial Semi State Companies, including reductions arising from the implementation of the Haddington Road Agreement, have been brought to the attention of the relevant State Companies.
The Annual Reports of the companies contain details of incumbent CEOs' salaries. Copies of the Reports are available in the Oireachtas library or on the websites of the relevant companies.
