146. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Finance if staff at the State Claims Agency receive discretionary performance-related payments; the amount paid to staff from 2006 to date; if these payments related to particular projects and-or audits; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraWhen performing its statutory functions regarding claims against the State, the National Treasury Management Agency is known as the State Claims Agency. The NTMA has informed me that discretionary performance-related payments are intended to reward exceptional performance having regard to the employee’s own performance, the performance of the employee’s area of responsibility, and the overall performance of the NTMA. Performance related payments are made in accordance with parameters approved by the Agency’s non-executive Remuneration Committee.
The NTMA have also informed me that it provides details of performance related payments made each year to all NTMA staff in its annual reports which are available on the NTMAs website through the following link www.ntma.ie/publications/.
