In response to the Deputy’s question, details requested are contained in the following table.
| Name of Body | Date Established | Is the Body subject to a sunset clause |
|---|---|---|
| Credit Union Restructuring Board (ReBo) | 1 January 2013 | ReBo is subject to a sunset clause in relation to its continuance after 1 January 2016. |
| Irish Fiscal Advisory Council | Created on an administrative basis on 07 July 2011. Became a statutory body on 31 December 2012 | The Body is not subject to a sunset clause |
In September 2011 the Government announced the establishment of the New Economy and Recovery Authority (NewERA) within the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA). Work on the necessary draft legislation to put NewERA on a statutory footing is ongoing.
There are no further plans to set up any new public bodies under the aegis of my Department.
