*The Deputy should note that Rory O'Donnell is the Chief Officer of NESDO as well as the Director of NESC. He receives no additional emoluments for the dual role.
**Section 27 of the NESDO Act provides for a pension scheme. A scheme is being prepared at present and will be submitted shortly to the Taoiseach for approval, as required by the Act. The Chief Officer of NESDO/Director of NESC may opt to join that scheme, if he so wishes. The terms and conditions which will apply to such transfer are under negotiation at present.
