I propose to take Questions Nos. 142 to 147, inclusive, together.
The Deputy will be aware that the institutions continue to be managed at arms length basis, not withstanding the large shareholding the Government holds. Accordingly, I do not compile the data sought by the Deputy at the level of detail he is seeking. This also applies to a whole series of questions put down for answer on the issue of remuneration matters at the covered institutions lately.
As I have said in response to these questions, my Department cannot compile data on a bespoke basis in relation to a large number of differently framed remuneration related questions at once, in the timeframe applicable to parliamentary replies and within the resources available, so I am seeking to find an approach that can properly respond to the clear public interest here.
As I have indicated in other replies yesterday on the same subject, far from wanting to restrict access to such information, I fully recognise that there is a real public interest in the levels of remuneration at the covered institutions. I have asked the institutions to compile data on remuneration practices and details with a view, as part of the remuneration review presently being conducted by the institutions at the request of my Department, to improving transparency on the issue. I will endeavour to have this completed in light of the above comments in the shortest timeframe possible with a view to putting the information into the public domain.
