89. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform 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%. [26615/15]

The non-commercial State sponsored bodies under my remit are the Special European Union Programmes Body (SEUPB) and the Institute of Public Administration. SEUPB does not have a board and the IPA do not pay board fees. There are no commercial semi-state bodies under my remit.
I understand that the OPW will respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
