Vol. 495 No. 2
50 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Finance if consultants (details supplied) have reported to him in relation to the salaries of chief executives in semi-State bodies; when a decision is likely to be made on this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17780/98]
On 13 July 1998 I received from the consultants the report which I had commissioned from them on the remuneration of chief executives of commercial State bodies.
I had commissioned the report in the context of the Government decision, announced on 24 March 1998, to modify the recommendations contained in Report No. 37 of the Review Body on Higher Remuneration in the Public Sector in relation to chief executives of the commercial State bodies.
The detailed information contained in the report is being assessed by my Department. When that process has been completed I will be in a position to bring proposals to Government as to the salary rate to apply to the chief executive of each commercial State body.
