Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 March 2022
224. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 72 of 9 March 2022, the manner in which the remuneration of the CEO of the Port of Cork diverged from the range that applied in 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16169/22]
View answerThe Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies provides that the CEO of each Commercial State Body shall hold office subject to the terms and conditions as determined by the Board of the State Body with the consent of the relevant Minister and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The statutory framework governing remuneration for CEO posts is set out in the relevant legislation governing each post.
The terms and conditions of remuneration for the Port of Cork CEO are in line with the relevant statutory framework. These terms and conditions were set in accordance with the conditions of the previous CEO who was appointed to the role prior to 2011 and therefore diverge from the range applied in 2011. No increase or change in remuneration was offered to the current CEO.
