I understand that the Deputy’s question relates to the period 1 November 2014 to date. The statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Authority, the Pensions Council, the Pensions Ombudsman (which does not have a board) and the Social Welfare Tribunal.
Under the Guidelines on Appointments to State Boards (November 2014),appointments to State Boards are advertised on which is operated by the Public Appointments Service. I can confirm that no former TDs have been appointed through this process to the Boards of any of these statutory bodies during the period in question.
