Budget 2009 proposed a range of measures regarding the rationalisation of State Agencies. One of these proposals was to amalgamate the Censorship of Publications Board and its Appeal Board with the Irish Film Classification Office. With effect from June 2009, in line with the Budget decision, administrative support for the Classifications of Films Appeal Board, the Censorship of Publications Board and the Censorship of Publications Appeal Board is provided by the Irish Film Classification Office. There is no proposal at this time to create a merged Censorship Office.
