Richard Boyd Barrett

Question:

903. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 1031 of 26 May 2015 his views on whether fees to chairpersons and members of Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company should be reduced in line with the fees paid to the chairpersons and members of Drogheda, Galway, New Ross and Wicklow as laid down, or alternatively that fees to the companies in Drogheda, Galway, New Ross and Wicklow should be increased to bring them in line with Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company, as they will be designated ports of regional significance with the same level of responsibilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The rates of expenses payable to the directors of State companies is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The expenses payable to the directors of Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company are in line with the current rates set by that Department. The review of the level of fees payable to the directors of the company is also a matter for that Department.
