The Agencies that operate under the aegis of the Department are the Pensions Board and the Citizens Information Board. The Office of the Pensions Ombudsman also falls under the remit of the Department.

As the Pensions Board is self-funded, the capping of pay would not result in any savings to the Exchequer.

Details in respect of the Citizens Information Board and the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman are as shown in the table below:
