Public Sector Staff Remuneration

Questions (87)

Peadar Tóibín

Question:

87. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the public services and semi-State companies under the remit of his Department that deliver bonuses to staff who need improvement. [41122/14]

View answer

Written answers

No bonuses are paid to any staff in my Department. I have asked all Agencies under the aegis of my Department to clarify whether their pay structures incorporate any element of bonus payments and, if so, for details of the circumstances in which any such bonuses may be paid.

I will communicate this information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.

Disadvantaged Areas Scheme Payments

Processing of the Disadvantaged Areas application of the person named has recently been finalised, with payment due to issue shortly, directly to the nominated bank account of the person named.

GLAS Administration

Questions (89)

Michelle Mulherin

Question:

89. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will include an incentive within the GLAS scheme to encourage farmers cut the hedges on their land which are growing out onto the public road; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40710/14]

View answer

Written answers

Section 70 of the Roads Act 1993 obliges the owner or occupier of land to take all reasonable steps to ensure that trees, shrubs etc. on the land are not a hazard or potential hazard to road users and that they do not obstruct or interfere with the safe use of, or maintenance of a public road. It is not possible to compensate farmers or land owners for complying with their statutory obligations. However under the proposed GLAS scheme farmers can be compensated for very specific management of hedgerows through coppicing or laying and these actions can be delivered on hedgerows adjoining public roads.
