Minister for Defence

I propose to take Questions Nos. 182 to 184, inclusive, together.

There are no semi-State companies under the aegis of my Department. My Department has two agencies under its remit - the Civil Defence Board and the Army Pensions Board. Both agencies are staffed by civil servants. No employee of these agencies has a salary of more than €100,000 per year.
