Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 July 2021
670. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the agencies and State organisations under his Department that are receiving State funding that do not have to declare salaries of employees under the 2016 code of governance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40039/21]
View answerThe Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies (Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, 2016) provides a framework for the application of best practice in corporate governance by both commercial and non-commercial State bodies.
Section 9 of the Code requires that State bodies publish in their annual report the salary of the Chief Executive Officer. All State bodies under the aegis of my Department are expected to comply with this requirement, subject to data protection considerations.
