The boards under the aegis of my Department are the Civil Defence Board, the Board of Coiste an Asgard and the Army Pensions Board. Nominees to these boards are not required to indicate to my Department if they are retired, and therefore the information requested by the Deputy is not available.

There is no remuneration attached to membership of the Civil Defence Board, the Board of Coiste an Asgard and the Army Pensions Boards. The chairperson and the civilian doctor attached to the Army Pensions Board are entitled to annual fees of €7,618 and €5,079 respectively.
