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.

No appointments have been made to any of the above Boards from 24th May 2007 to date.

There are two vacancies on the Board of the Combat Poverty Agency at present. It is anticipated that between now and 1 January 2008 a further two vacancies will arise on the Board of the Combat Poverty Agency; two vacancies will arise on the Citizens Information Board and one vacancy will arise on the Social Welfare Tribunal.
