272. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 72 of 5 July 2023, if he can provide further clarity and a breakdown on the requested information (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35585/23]
View answerFollowing my 5 July reply in relation to PQ 33062/23, information on the daa as requested by the deputy is outlined below.
Other’ payment
This related to payment of c.26 days annual leave (6 days carried forward from 2021 and 20 days for 2022). The majority of the balance was accrued during 2022 when the CEO was unable to take leave given the challenges being faced by the business at Dublin Airport throughout 2022.
Bik medical
This relates to a benefit paid for by daa as part of the CEO’s contractual entitlement. The payment is classified as a Benefit in Kind and the CEO paid all required employment taxes associated with this benefit.
Bik car
The value of €35K p.a. relates to the amount calculated per Revenue guidelines in determining the annual value upon which the recipient of a company car should pay Benefit in Kind. The CEO paid all relevant employment taxes based on the value calculated. The vehicle purchased by daa in 2019 and upon which the calculations are based was a Range Rover.
