*Responsibility for FÁS transferred to the Department of Education and Skills on 1st May 2010.

In addition to the above, the CEO of Science Foundation Ireland is paid an allowance in the nature of pay on a personal basis (as approved by the Department of Finance) in recognition of his international research experience and expertise.

The CEO's of a number of Agencies under the aegis of my Department are eligible to participate in a Performance Related Award Scheme approved by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, with the consent of the Minister for Finance. The Schemes, which are based on the Department of Finance's Guidelines on Performance Related Awards in non-commercial state bodies, provide for a maximum award of 20% of total remuneration. These Performance Related Awards have for the most part been suspended since March 2009.

CEOs of the following agencies under the aegis of my Department have the use or an allowance for the use of a car for official business:

Enterprise Ireland;

Personal Injuries Assessment Board;

Forfás;

NSAI;

IDA Ireland;

SFADCO.

Each CEO is a member of the superannuation scheme of their respective agency.

The issue of a voluntary pay cut is a matter for each post holder. However, in common with all other Public Servants the salaries of the CEO's at each of the agencies under my remit was reduced with effect from 1st January 2010.
