Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Eamon Ryan)

I can confirm that my Department advised all Bodies under its aegis on the direction of the Minister for Finance to apply a reduction in fees paid to all Chairpersons and Board Members of the level prescribed by the Minister for Finance.

My Department is compiling the specific information sought by the Deputy in respect of each State Agency and I will forward it to him as soon as possible.
