Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 September 2015
87. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Finance the amount of bonus remuneration paid to staff in his Department and to agencies under his aegis in 2015 to date; the number of persons to whom these payments were made and their purpose; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32536/15]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that no bonus remuneration was paid to staff in my Department.
In relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department the only body that has paid bonuses is the NTMA.
I understand from the NTMA that it made performance-related payments in 2015 to 16 staff in respect of 2014. These payments, in aggregate, totalled €79,200. No performance related payments were made to any employee earning a salary of over €150,000.
