Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 July 2015
139. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine 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. [26971/15]
View answerThe authorised fees to the chairpersons and board members are outlined in the following table. If no board member waives their fee, the total cost to the state bodies would be €783,572. Therefore 25% of that figure would be €195,893. No fees are payable to serving public servants.
