Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
823. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of semi-State companies under the remit of his Department that have paid bonuses to their employees in 2011, 2012 and 2013; if he will identify these semi-State companies, the number of employees and the level of bonuses paid; his views on the situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4163/14]
View answerOne of the first actions I took as Minister in 2011 was to inform all Chairpersons and CEOs under my remit that, in line with Government policy, no bonuses would be paid. I can confirm that no bonuses have been paid to the CEOs of the State companies under the remit of my Department in respect of performance for 2011 onwards.
I have already been in contact with all the State companies under the remit of my Department seeking information on bonus payments paid to staff. I will provide this information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
