The five statutory agencies operating under the aegis of my Department are the Pensions Board, the Combat Poverty Agency, Comhairle, the Family Support Agency, and the Social Welfare Tribunal. In addition, the Pensions Ombudsman comes under the remit of my Department.

The Pensions Board, the Combat Poverty Agency, Comhairle, and the Pensions Ombudsman have each provided me with a copy of their 2004 annual report, all of which have been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. The Family Support Agency has provided me with a copy of their 2004 annual report which it is planned to lay before the Houses of the Oireachtas in the near future. There is no statutory requirement for the Social Welfare Tribunal to submit an annual report.
