I propose to take Questions Nos. 593 and 594 together.
Queries on bonuses, other performance related payments and allowances to staff in the State Bodies should be directed to the State Bodies themselves.
The details of the salaries of the Chief Executive Officers of the twelve State Bodies operating under the aegis of my Department for 2012 are outlined in the table below. In relation to two Commercial State Bodies – Coillte and the Irish National Stud - the salaries of the Chief Executive Officers are paid from the companies own resources as they do not receive funding from my Department. No bonuses were paid to Chief Executives of State Bodies under the aegis of this Department in 2012.
