In response to the Deputy's query please find, in tabular form details of retention and bonus payments if any paid to staff; the bonuses or retention payments made in 2014 and in 2015 to date; the numbers of staff receiving these payments; the highest individual payment received at each agency, by bodies under the aegis of the Department of Finance in 2014/2015.
I would ask the Deputy to note that the amounts in relation to the National Treasury Management Agency in the table below relate to performance-related payments and retention payments made in 2014 and in 2015 which were paid in respect of the prior year. The NTMA Annual Report 2014 outlines performance related payments in 2015 in respect of 2014.
The Staff of Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland
are seconded from NTMA. The NTMA advises no performance-related or retention payments were made to staff assigned to SBCI in either 2014 or 2015.
