Written answers

Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment

The One Person One Salary policy introduced by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has been brought to the attention of the bodies under the aegis of my Department and compliance in this regard is being observed. Worker Directors are excluded from this policy in relation to board fees.
