Question 271: To ask the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide in tabular form a list of all agencies and bodies and internal organisations under her aegis. [15507/12]

A list of the statutory bodies and internal organisations under the aegis of my Department is set out in the following table:
Statutory Bodies
| Social Welfare Tribunal | The Social Welfare Tribunal is a statutory body set up in 1982 to deal with cases where entitlement to Jobseeker's Benefit or Jobseeker's Allowance is refused due to an involvement in a trade dispute. Where a person feels unreasonably deprived of employment because an employer refused or failed to engage in the mediation process for settling disputes, application may be made to the Tribunal for adjudication on the matter. |
| The Citizens Information Board | The Citizens Information Board is the national agency responsible for supporting the provision of information, advice and advocacy on social services and for the provision of the Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS). |
| The Pensions Board | The Pensions Board is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Pensions Act 1990 (as amended), which provides for the regulation of occupational pensions and Personal Retirement Savings Accounts. The Board also advises the Minister in relation to pension policy. |
| The Office of the Pensions Ombudsman | The Office of the Pensions Ombudsman investigates complaints of financial losses due to maladministration and disputes of fact or law, in relation to occupational pension schemes and Personal Retirement Savings Accounts. The Pensions Ombudsman is a statutory officer and exercises his functions independently. |
Internal Organisations
| The Civil Registration Service | The Civil Registration Service provides for the registrations of births, deaths and marriages in the State. It is managed by the General Register Office in Roscommon, while registration services are provided by registrars appointed by the Health Service Executive (HSE) at various locations across the State. The GRO also operates a genealogical research facility in Dublin. |
| The Social Welfare Appeals Office | The Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO), which was established in January 1991, is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements and insurability of employment. |
