The Annual Reports of the companies contain details of incumbent CEOs' salaries. The Annual Reports should be available in the library of the House. None of the CEOs receive a bonus.
Pensions are negotiated on a case by case basis between the relevant company and the CEO as part of the new contract, in accordance with the Guidelines on contracts, remuneration and other conditions of Chief Executives and senior management of Commercial State Bodies, subject to statutory provision for the approval of remuneration and terms by Ministers and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Expenses arrangements are an operational matter for the companies.
