Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 July 2015
110. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the annual saving to his Department and the bodies under its aegis if all the fees for all State agency, non-commercial State-sponsored bodies and commercial semi-State board members were reduced by 25%; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26980/15]
View answerThe following table lists the fees for the Chairperson and Members, for each Board under the aegis of my Department. The Deputy should note that in some cases members may have opted to waive their fees, some members will be subject to the ‘one person one salary’ principle and others are Department nominees at official level who are not entitled to fees and vacancies will exist on various boards from time to time. In October last I answered a related PQ which highlighted the fact that 44% of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation related Board Members either do not qualify for, or have chosen to waive their fee.
The individual amounts paid to each member in board fees are a day to day matter for the respective Agencies. I have asked all Agencies under the aegis of my Department to advise me of their response, and I will communicate that information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
