Northern Ireland Water: CEO severance package
Dear Department for Regional Development (Northern Ireland),
I understand from AQW 3498/11:
"that the amount to be paid to its former CEO is £91,000 in respect of 6 months salary. In addition, NIW has agreed to contribute £3,000 towards his legal fees and a further £3,000 towards tax advisor's fees."
Could you explain how the figure of £91,000 in respect of 6 months salary was arrived at since according to the NIW annual report the salary of the CEO is £130,000?
Furthermore, if the severance package was what the CEO was contractually entitled to upon resignation, could you explain why there is no provision for the additional £3,000 towards his legal fees and a further £3,000 towards tax advisor's fees?
Yours faithfully,
Michael McAree

Dear Mr McGlennon,
Please ignore the first part of my request. I see that the CEO salary of £130k was not based on a full year, therefore £91k seems about right.
The second part of my FOI stil remains open for answer.
Yours sincerely,
Michael McAree

Dear Department for Regional Development (Northern Ireland),
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Regional Development (Northern Ireland)'s handling of my FOI request 'Northern Ireland Water: CEO severance package'.
Many thanks for clarification of the salary issue.
I wish to know why there was no provision in the annual report for contractual liabilities for £3k for tax advice and £3k for legal advice? This is not a question of individual/personal contracts, as this information was put into the public domain by the Minister. The question is simple, if it the former CEO was contractually entitled to the additional £6k as stated by the Minister then why was there no provision for this in the annual report/accounts?
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,
Michael McAree
