View answerI am informed by the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) that no performance related payments have been made to date by the NTMA in respect of financial year 2016. Any performance related payments made in respect of financial year 2016 will be published in the NTMA's 2016 Annual Report.
Performance related payments made in 2016 in respect of financial year 2015 totalled €492,500 and were paid to 60 people. These payments were published in the NTMA's 2015 Annual Report. The highest individual payment was €20,000.
I am also advised that no such performance related payments were made to any staff assigned to the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) in respect of financial year 2015.
