It is assumed that the Deputy is referring to the fees being paid to board members. The Government approved the application from 1 May 2009 of revised fees for the non-executive chairpersons and members of the boards of State bodies. The revised fees are 10% lower than the fees which applied until 30 April, 2009. The following revised rates of fees are payable to Bord Na gCon Board members:
Chairperson : €21,600 and Directors : €12,600.
I can inform the Deputy that the total BnG Board members fees paid in 2012 and 2013 were €98,200 and €95,480 respectively. The 2014 audited accounts of Bord na gCon are not available at this stage.
