Details regarding remuneration paid since the establishment of the Department of Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht on 2 June 2011 to persons nominated by the Minister for Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht to State and other relevant bodies operating under my Department's aegis are provided in the tables below.
Fees paid in this period to persons nominated to the bodies in question prior to the establishment of my Department on 2 June 2011 are not included. Similarly, fees paid in this period to ex-officio members, or to persons nominated by entities such as County Councils with rights of nomination to the bodies in question, are not included.
The board of An Foras Teanga comprises the boards of Foras na Gaeilge (16 members) and the Ulster-Scots Agency (8 members). These appointments are made by the North South Ministerial Council, arising from nominations on a 50:50 basis from each jurisdiction.
Most of the boards under my Department's aegis operate on a pro-bono basis. In certain other cases, however, nominees to boards may not be paid fees due to the 'one salary' rule, while others, who could claim fees, have waived their fee on a voluntary basis.
