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

On 30th March 2007 I appointed Ms. Patricia Walshe and Ms. Laurie Cearr as members of the Citizens Information Board.

No further vacancies will arise on any boards under the aegis of my Department up to 31st May 2007.
