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

The pay and all other elements of the remuneration package granted to the chief executive officers of bodies under the aegis of my Department is the responsibility, in the first instance, of each Board. The Board agrees terms and conditions including remuneration, with my Department, within remuneration levels sanctioned by the Department of Finance. Details of pay and emoluments for each year are generally available in the published annual reports and accounts of the bodies concerned.
