Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
200. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Finance if he will confirm that in line with the one person, one salary principle, no public servant who is a member of a State board or agency under the control of his Department is currently in receipt of remuneration in the form of board fees and if any such remuneration is being paid, that such payment will be discontinued and payments that were wrongfully paid will be reclaimed. [13323/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn response to the Deputy's query, I have been advised by the 18 bodies under the aegis of my Department that no public servant that is a member of a State Board or agency under the control of my department is currently in receipt of remuneration in the form of board fees. I am advised that one serving member of the board of ReBo received board fees in error in 2013 and that following advice from Department of Public Expenditure and Reform these fees were discontinued and no reimbursement was requested.
