The five statutory agencies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Pensions Board, the Combat Poverty Agency, Comhairle, the social welfare tribunal, and the Family Support Agency. In addition, the Pensions Ombudsman comes under the remit of my Department. Appointments to State boards are generally made on the basis of the qualifications and suitability of the individuals concerned. Records are not maintained in relation to the information requested by the Deputy.
