Amharc ar fhreagra257 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the money saved if all Senators salaries’ were capped at €60,000 per annum. [22190/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 250, 251, 256 and 257 together.
I refer to my reply to Question No. 226 of 19 July.
252 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the money saved if all Government special advisers pay was capped at €60,000, €80,000 and €100,000 per annum in a tabular format. [22185/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraAccording to the Guidelines on Staffing of Ministerial Offices issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in March 2011 Special Advisors are to be placed on the Principal Officer (standard) scale. Appointments are generally required to be at the minimum of the scale.
The approval for Special Advisor posts is not fully finalised in all instances, though I expect it to be completed shortly. On that basis I will get back to the Deputy with the details of actual pay approved as she has requested as soon as possible.
253 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the money saved if the maximum salary of all public servants were capped at €100,000 per annum. [22186/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer to the reply by my colleague the Minister for Finance to Questions Nos. 39, 43 and 45 taken together on 5 July 2011.
254 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the money saved if the maximum salary of all chief executive officers of commercial semi-State bodies were capped at €100,000 per annum. [22187/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe estimated full year saving if the maximum salary of all Chief Executive Officers of commercial State companies were capped at €100,000 per annum is approximately €3 million.
255 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the money figure saved if the maximum salary of all State agency bodies senior management were capped at €100,000 per annum. [22188/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government supports a strong policy of pay restraint in the public service. The Deputy will be aware that the Government recently announced a general pay ceiling of €200,000 in the public service which included non-commercial State sponsored bodies/agencies.
I have no plans, nor am I currently examining the effect of, the introduction of a unilateral pay cap at €100,000 for senior management of non-commercial state agencies. Pay rates for this sector will be set in accordance with general Government pay policy for the general public service.
258 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the money saved if all State agency board member payments were reduced by €10,000 where their current annual payment is in excess of €50,000. [22191/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am not aware of any instance in which the annual fee payable to a State agency board member exceeds €50,000 euros.
259 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the money saved if all public representative expenses were reduced by 10%, 20%, 30%, in tabular format [22196/11]
