Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
682 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the annual saving to the Exchequer if the pay of all CEOs of State agencies under her aegis were capped at €100,000. [36631/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI would like to inform the Deputy there are four agencies which are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote. These are the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI); the Family Support Agency (FSA); the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) and the Ombudsman for Children.
In relation to my Department, the annual saving to the Exchequer (based on 2012 remuneration) if the pay of all CEOs of State Agencies were capped at €100,000 is €41,374.
With effect from 1 January 2012, I have taken responsibility for the Children Detention Schools as provided in Part 10 of the Children Act 2001. The Children's Detention Schools do not have a Chief Executive Officer.
The Ombudsman for Children's Office does not have a Chief Executive Officer and I understand that the Ombudsman for Children has written to you directly in this regard.
The Chief Executive Officer post for the Family Support Agency is currently vacant and is therefore not included in above figure.
