Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, responsibility for the pay and other entitlements of CEOs of State boards rests with the board of the relevant bodies.
My Department does, however, play a role in monitoring performance-related awards for CEOs of the commercial and non-commercial bodies under the aegis of my Department.
The table below sets out the total bonus/performance awards paid to CEOs of the bodies under the aegis of my Department for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and to date in 2008.
