I would like to inform the Deputy there are four agencies which are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote. These are the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI); the Family Support Agency (FSA); the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) and the Ombudsman for Children's Office (OCO). With effect from 1 January 2012, I have taken responsibility for the Children Detention Schools as provided in Part 10 of the Children Act 2001.
There are currently 13 serving Board members for the NEWB, 11 for the Children Detention Schools, 12 for the FSA and 6 for the AAI. The Ombudsman for Children’s Office does not have a Board of Management.
I have set out in tabular format below a breakdown of the annual fees currently paid to members of the Boards of Management under the aegis of my Department. It should be noted that all current members of the Board of Management for the Children Detention Schools waived their fees when they were appointed in March, 2012.
Also included are details of expenses claimed to date for 2012 by members of the Boards. The Deputy should also note that some members of the Boards have not yet submitted claims for expenses incurred in 2012. The Adoption Authority of Ireland have confirmed that they will write directly to the Deputy in relation to expenses for 2012.
